Attorney hired an identity expert to testify at trial. After 9 hard fought days at Jury Trial, the jury came back with a 8 not guilty to 4 guilty verdict. This is known as a hung jury.

At Court trial Attorney intelligently and creatively cross examined the witness. Ultimately the witness admitted that Client had in fact, not choked her, but instead was using his arm as a method to prevent her from taking the child out of his car seat, while Client was driving the vehicle. Client’s wife had in fact engaged in the dangerous activity. A DVTRO was not granted against client.

Following that Attorney secured for Client a full DVTRO, thus protecting both her and the children from this abusive person.. 2020 DVTRO COURT TRIAL WIN (Kern County)Client was being accused of making threats against their neighbor.
