Defendant charged with a life felony. charges dismissed, reduced and no conviction on her record.

RESULT: SECURED A LOWER CHARGE AND BOND PRIOR TO ARRAIGNMENT, ULTIMATELY PLEA TO AN EVEN LOWER CHARGE, WITH NO CONVICTION, EARLY TERMINATION OF PROBATION AT 9 MONTHS.

FACTS: The defendant was working at a residential condominium complex when a resident complained that she was not doing an adequate job cleaning the hallway and common area.  An argument ensued after our client was disrespected by the resident.  The resident alleged that our client entered her apartment, struck her repeatedly, grabbed her by the hands, pulled the phone out of her hand and threw it off the second floor hallway onto the ground. Davie Police arrested our client and charged her with Burglary with Battery (Punishable by Life Felony) and Giving a False Name to police.  Our client was initially held NO BOND following arrest.  We were able to convince the State Attorney’s Office in Broward to agree to bond and file the lesser charge of Burglary of a Dwelling (a second-degree Felony), misdemeanor battery and giving a false name.  After investigating and fighting the case, taking depositions and speaking with witnesses, we were able to negotiate a dismissal of the charges and our client took a plea to the reduced charge of Aggravated Assault.  She received a withhold of adjudication (no conviction on her record) and is eligible for early termination of probation after 9 months.
