Probation Warrant
An all-around solid father and builder had a warrant for his arrest for failing to appear for probation. It had been many months and he simply didn’t go, since he owed money to the court. More importantly, he had recently gotten arrested for a new allegation. Attorney Barabino expedited his matter and they appeared in court without delay. They were able to have him pay the money that he owed to the court and the court agreed to simply discharge his probation obligation, all before any new charges were formally issued. Client is discharged, court is paid in full and he goes back to being a grateful loving father.
Result: Probation Warrant Lifted, Probation TERMINATED AND DISCHARGED.

Violation of Probation
Client had been on probation in two different courts for two separate felony charges. During her time on probation, she failed to meet with her probation officer and disappeared for more than two years. She was living out of state and had multiple court warrants for her arrest. Fortunately, client turned her life around by getting off drugs and staying clean. She coordinated with Attorney Barabino, who planned her arrival to the courts and probation department, resulting in both her cases having warrants removed, no jail time, no convictions, and dismissals.
Result: WARRANTS RECALLED, PROBATION DISMISSED AND ALL CHARGES DISCHARGED, NO CONVICTIONS, NO JAIL

Assault and Battery, DISMISSED, Illegal Drug Distribution, DISMISSED

August 21, 2012
Assault and Battery Chapter 265 Section 15?
Possession to Distribute Class “D” Chapter 94C Section 32(c)
Client was a landscaper who was in warrant status as a result of not reporting to his probation officer. Moreover, he was charged with new crimes of Assault and Battery and Distributing Class “D” (marijuana). Attorney Barabino brought the charges straight to trial—little time to waste since there would be consequences from his probation officer if he was convicted of new charges. At trial, the Commonwealth was unable to secure the necessary witnesses to present their evidence, and the Assault and Battery was dismissed. Attorney Barabino next filed what is called a waiver of jury to allow the judge to hear the remaining evidence for distribution. Once that was complete, the District Attorney simply assented that their probability of securing a verdict was low—so low that they agreed to dismiss the distribution charge in its entirety.
Result: Assault and Battery Charge DISMISSED. Distribution Charge DISMISSED.
