I represented a client in Suffolk county on a domestic violence case. The District Attorney’s Office was very aggressive in its position to not plea bargain because the client had an extensive record. After reviewing the case, I was able to point out certain evidentiary problems with the prosecution’s case and rather than dismiss the case outright, the DA’s office allowed the speedy trial clock to run. As a consequence, the case was dismissed and the client was left with no conviction and no order of protection was issued.
