Aggravated Assault? I think not!

Nancy aggravated assault felony was dismissed this week. Nancy’s roommate called the police claiming Nancy pulled a gun on her/pistol-whipped her. Even though there were no injuries, the police arrested Nancy and when she bonded out the roommate had stolen her jewelry and broken into her safe with a crowbar, and pawned a bunch of her stuff. We presented our grand jury packet on Wednesday and the DA rejected the case the next day. – DISMISSED

DWI – BAC High – REDUCED

Tyler BAC .28, DWI 1st w/open container. We had the blood analyzed which showed the blood should not be considered. We were able to get Tyler a deferred adjudication for 8 months and a $200 fine.

Harassment Charges – DISMISSED

Inna’s harassment conviction could have seriously jeopardized her U.S. status and could have subjected her to removal.  Chase and our criminal defense team spent time gathering evidence in the case.
