Novi DV Attorney Discusses Proactive Defense
Recently, I represented a client at the Novi District Court on a domestic violence charge. My client was a professional with a six figure job, kids and a wife. He was accused of assaulting his wife, and causing injury, which elevated the charges.
After an extensive review of the evidence, and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the case, my client decided to pursue the path of negotiation; he didn't want to force his wife to take the witness stand and put his family on trial, and I told him we might be able to work something out where he would leave the case with no criminal record, and we might be able to keep him out of jail.
Fortunately our plan worked. My client was proactive on my advice and began attending AA classes and counseling during his case, and I was able to negotiate a dismissal of charges under the first offender program, and my client avoided jail.
This was an outstanding result due to my client's efforts on my proactive approach. We were able to isolate the crime from the criminal, and show that my client had a bad moment, and was in a bad situation, but he himself is not a criminal, and should not be labeled one the rest of his life with a criminal record.
If you're charged with domestic violence in Novi, you need to ask yourself whether or not you want to strive for an exceptional or an average result. If it's an average result, save your money on hiring me.
