Charges Dropped in DV Assault Case
3/7/2007
Case Type: Assault - Domestic Violence
Background:
- Portland, Maine
An argument between married couple escalates and the police are called, leading to an arrest and a Assault-Domestic Violence charge. As with any assault case, the bail conditions included a 'no contact' provision, forcing one parent to live outside of the marital home, and have no contact with the children and spouse. We were involved within the first day, and, with the help of a private investigator, were able to establish the inappropriateness of the charges and present that to the district attorney within 2 days of the arrest.
Result:
Case was never filed - NO COMPLAINT
