Domestic Battery
Client W.C–Client found guilty after a trial by jury. Adjudication of guilt, 12 months probation, batter’s intervention program, no contact with the victim, 20 hours community service
Client J.B–Client charged with Battery. Criminal charges were dropped against Client but case was still a public record. Attorney Zahra Umansky successfully expunged Client’s case so that it is no longer a public record. Attorney Zahra Umansky was able to expunge Client’s record without Client having to go back to Court.
Client S.K--Pled. ag + cts sentence (35 days). $74.32 cost of investigation to the Polk Sheriff’s office, $50 cost of prosecution. Good deal, since I negotiated an identical sentence on the VOP that this case violated. Overall, client was immediately released from jail on the violation of probation for credit for time served (I arranged this within days of being hired) and I convinced the county court attorney to simply give him credit for the time he sat in jail for the same days that he was there on the violation of probation with no new probationary term and no additional sanctions.
Client D.M–Did client consultation started prepping case. This morning another counsel substituted in and took over / is taking over the defense, presumably as they can handle the injunction hearing (I have a scheduling conflict).
Client J.C–Case was “theft” of condominium paperwork when manager refused to do a walk-through. Arrest was stupid. Contacted ASA and explained what happened, state filed dismissal.
