This week was a good week for clients.
In addition to defeating a restraining order, I was able to resolve a case where my client was originally charged with attempt robbery, a charge classified as a serious and violent felony, also known as a strike crime. The consequences would have been tremendous in this case. I was able to obtain a reduction of the charge to 415 (disturbing the peace charge) as an infraction. This level of charge is de minimis and of no serious consequence to my client.
I was fortunate in this case it was assigned to a reasonable prosecutor and a judge who encouraged a flexible resolution.
