The police arrested a woman for allegedly attacking her husband in the marital home. The prosecuting authority charged her with simple battery.


After the police arrested our client, her husband filed a petition for an injunction against domestic violence in family court. After taking testimony for several hours, the judge dismissed the petition for the injunction. The lawyers at DMT ordered a transcript of the proceeding which was provided to the chief prosecutor in domestic violence court. After thoroughly reviewing the scathing cross-examination conducted by the attorneys at DMT, the case was dismissed by the chief of the domestic violence unit.
