Client was charged with felony child abuse and felony criminal threats. The prosecution initially offered a multi-year prison sentence. After conducting a detailed factual investigation and preparing a full mitigation workup through our expert network, we secured dismissal of all felony charges. The case resolved as a misdemeanor with no jail time.
The charges were filed under Penal Code sections 273a(a) and 422. They arose from a domestic incident involving the client’s minor son. Based on the initial police report and the client’s record, the District Attorney’s Office pursued serious felony charges and offered prison at the outset of the case.
We responded by preparing the case for litigation. Our investigator identified material gaps in the police narrative and uncovered facts that directly contradicted key allegations. At the same time, we developed a comprehensive mitigation presentation that included documentary support, letters of reference, and treatment records.
By combining factual development with a disciplined mitigation strategy, we changed the trajectory of the case. The prosecution agreed to dismiss all felony counts.
The case resolved for a misdemeanor. No custody time. No strike. No felony conviction.
