Mike Brandt was successful in getting assault charges against his client continued for dismissal after his client was charged with Domestic Assault for allegedly striking her husband in the face and causing injury.
In preparation for trial, Mike investigated the background of the relationship between the husband and wife and spoke with several witnesses who would be able to say that the wife had been the victim of abuse by her husband in the past. Mike indicated that he was going to assert self-defense at the trial.
Based upon the information provided, the prosecutor agreed to continue the matter for dismissal—meaning that the charges against Mike’s client will be dismissed in one year as long as she does not have any same or similar charges.
This type of outcome is the result of working with an experienced criminal defense attorney such as Brandt Kettwick Defense who will thoroughly investigate a case, properly prepare for trial, and reach a great result for our clients.
