My client, David F., received a phone call from his girlfriend that her ex-girlfriend had stalked her at a parking lot and was harassing her. She asked him to come to the scene for help. Upon arrival, he was stunned to realize that his girlfriend was getting assaulted by another female who he had never seen before. He immediately used force to defend his girlfriend in order to protect her. There were eyewitnesses that had concluded that my client was the aggressor since they did not see the beginning of the fight. My office appeared in court multiple times and eventually we found out that the ex-girlfriend had gotten arrested for a serious drug transportation case. This affected her credibility. After filing a Judicial Diversion Motion pursuant to 1001.95, my office was able to allow my client to complete 12 anger management classes in exchange for a complete dismissal of the charges.

In a Judicial diversion motion, my office can help determine if you are eligible for such a motion. If so, I routinely file these types of motions with great success in order to keep the defendants record clean. Keeping your record clean without ever being placed on probation will have benefits in both employment and immigration applications.
