Strategy of Attack Simple Battery Case:
The police did a terrible investigation, so Rossen Law Firm had to do our own work to help defend Thomas.
Thomas was sincere and said he would never want to hurt anyone. He told us that if anything did happen, it was completely innocent and on accident. We interviewed multiple witnesses that were in his class on the day of the test. All of the students said that they loved Thomas and that he genuinely cared about his students.
The witnesses said that they never saw him slap the student, never heard a reaction or complaint from her and that she stayed to finish the test. The student’s close friends even told us that she was a drama queen and was always looking for attention. We listed all of the students as defense witnesses and moved forward aggressively, setting the case for trial.
