Client was charged with criminal mischief for damaging the victim’s car during an altercation at the grocery store. Client was initially given a probation offer with a withhold of adjudication before hiring our firm.
I let client know based on the evidence that we could fight the case because the damage was not done intentional, which is a required element. I talked to the prosecutor about dismissing the case if he paid the restitution in full.

Client paid the restitution and the case was dismissed.
