Attorney Krista Richman helped a client avoid charges in an alleged domestic violence incident by working through domestic issues privately and developing a self-defense argument.
A professional engineer in Davie, Florida, was involved. The client was facing potential misdemeanor battery charges brought by his wife. The client had been drinking beers and got into a verbal altercation with his wife at their home. The argument escalated, and the wife pulled the husband’s hair. In self-defense, the client pushed his wife against the wall, ending the altercation. The wife then called the police and made a report against the client.
The wife, recognizing the client was acting in self-defense, wrote a Waiver of Prosecution stating the situation was a misunderstanding and requested the state not press charges. The prosecutor chose not to pursue charges against the client. Because of Krista’s excellent work, the couple can work on better communication and dispute resolution techniques without court intervention, and raise their children together as a family unit.
