Waltham District Court
Assault and Battery Chapter 265 Section 15a
Disorderly Conduct Chapter 272 Section 53
Client was with a fellow international student and both were enrolled at a prestigious school just outside Boston when they became involved in an incident with a young man and his girlfriend. According to the police report provided, the pair was heavily intoxicated when they approached a young couple and asked them for money. After asking for money, they apparently starting shoving and eventually fighting one of the men in the hospital. The parents of client had a number of legitimate concerns, primarily that: 1) their son would go to jail; 2) their son would be found guilty of a crime; 3) their son would have a criminal record; and 4) their case would possibly prevent an application for US Citizenship in the future. After negotiating the case with an attentive and hard-working District Attorney office, a resolution was agreed to that resulted in none of the above concerns. Basically, the young men would have to work in a soup kitchen for a total of twenty hours, stay out of trouble, and in six months the case would be history.
RESULT: PROSECUTION STOPPED, TWENTY HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND PAY $100, AFTER SIX MONTHS DISMISSAL
