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 started shoving and eventually fighting one of the men in the hospital. The parents of the 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’s 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
