Case: Misdemeanor Domestic Assault
Attorney: Paul L. Young
Result: Paul’s client was charged with Misdemeanor Domestic Assault, which would have resulted in a seven-year DHS disqualification. In preparation for his client’s case, Paul had several conversations with the prosecutor, explaining relevant details about the client’s personal life and mitigating factors the client had taken since being charged. After some negotiation, the prosecutor offered a plea to Disorderly Conduct, which the client accepted. The Court stayed the client’s jail time, vacated the Domestic Abuse No Contact Order, and only required the client to pay a small fine. This allowed Paul’s client to avoid the DHS disqualification and additional jail time.
