Client Arrested for Felony Assault-- Charges Reduced
June 2015
In this San Mateo County case at the San Francisco Airport, our client was arrested by the San Francisco Airport police for felony assault with means of force likely to cause great bodily injury, (Penal Code Section 245(a)(1)). After aggressive negotiations with the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office and the presentation of an extensive mitigation case, charges were reduced to a misdemeanor violation of Penal Code Section 242 – simple battery and client was sentenced to only 1 year court probation and a fine and no jail time.
