Assault
Client was charged with assault after originally facing assault and battery allegations at a magistrate hearing, where he represented himself and the assault charge issued. He later retained Attorney Barabino, who began working on the case after the hearing. According to the government, the client had a verbal dispute with another employee and threw iced coffee in that person’s direction. Although the charge was questionable, the alleged victim was actively involved in the case, and the client accepted a pretrial probation offer that required a short apology letter and a 4-hour anger management course. Under the agreement, if he is not arrested or charged with any new offenses for 180 days, the case will be dismissed without any admission of wrongdoing or guilt. Case closed.
RESULT: Resolved with No Record and No Admission of Guilt.
