Kirkland Municipal Court.
N/AOUTCOME: DV label removed; Assault reduced to mere Disorderly Conduct.
Client had a prior charge about 5 years before for Making False Statement to Police, which was closed upon dismissal on a deferred sentence, so she got a big break there. Then, 4-5 years later, in sam ... e court, client was falsely charged with Assault 4 DV. After obtaining the alleged victim boyfriend’s statement with prosecutor’s permission, charge of assault 4 DV reduced to simple misdemeanor of Disorderly Conduct with no “DV tag / label,” no jail, no active (supervised) probation, 1-day alcohol drug information school (“ADIS”) and 2 days’ Anger Management, and no fine. Case closed after only 6 months from sentencing on the greatly reduced non-DV, lesser charge on another relentlessly negotiated excellent outcome. All No-Contact Orders lifted, too. Very happy client.
