Our client was facing a Domestic Battery with Bodily Harm charge in Jersey County, Illinois. This charge was already impacting his ability to maintain his employment and resulted in other collateral consequences to his reputation and liberties. From the beginning, we asserted that he was innocent and not responsible for any bodily harm to the alleged victim.
Through negotiation efforts, and the presentation of strong, mitigating facts surrounding the alleged incident, the State’s Attorney’s Office proceeded to dismiss the case.
