State Attorney’s Office Decides Not to File Charges Against Condo Manager for Alleged Aggravated Battery

Quick Summary:

A 43-year-old luxury condo manager in Fort Lauderdale was accused of aggravated battery against a resident. Despite a brief altercation, the State Attorney’s Office decided not to file charges, thanks to the swift action of attorney Susan Lawson. This outcome preserved the client’s job and reputation.

Facts of the Case:

A 43-year-old luxury condo manager in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was involved in this case. The incident occurred at the luxury condo where she worked. The manager was accused of aggravated battery against a resident. The resident had been informed of the rule that the service elevator must be used when transporting a cart. The office manager attempted to get the resident’s attention but failed to do so because the resident had headphones in. The office manager then simply tapped the resident on the shoulder, which caused an extreme reaction from the resident.

The resident began scratching the office manager, who pushed the resident back to protect herself. The security guard intervened and ended the altercation, but the resident was extremely angry and called the police. The police arrived and determined that no charges should be filed as it was a very quick altercation with mutual contact. However, the resident was not satisfied and called the state attorney’s office to demand that felony aggravated battery charges were filed against the manager.

Matters were made worse when a news report came out that questioned why the state attorney’s office had not filed charges against the office manager. The manager’s job and reputation were in jeopardy.

Process and Result:

  • Strategy Session: Susan acted swiftly for the client by reaching out to the detective in charge of the investigation to get ahead of possible charges. This strategy session involved both in-person meetings and phone calls to ensure all relevant details and evidence were properly communicated and reviewed.
  • Concerns and Actions: One of the main concerns was the potential impact on the client’s job and reputation. The client, a mother of two, was very concerned about losing her job due to this incident. Susan’s quick and effective actions helped alleviate these concerns by preventing the filing of charges, thus preserving the client’s employment and reputation.
  • Motions Filed: No formal motions were filed in this case as the primary action was proactive communication and evidence presentation to the detective and the State Attorney’s Office.
  • Stages of the Justice System: The case was reviewed by the police, who decided not to file charges. The resident then appealed to the State Attorney’s Office. Susan’s intervention ensured that the State Attorney’s Office also decided not to file charges, effectively ending the legal process in favor of the client.

Final Result:

Thanks to Susan’s diligent work, no charges were filed against the condo manager. The client avoided the heavy burden of a possible felony charge, retained her job, and was able to continue providing for her family. Susan’s efforts were instrumental in preserving the client’s reputation and peace of mind.

I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
