My client was charged with battery. He was accused of being drunk and punching a door security ( bouncer) at a bar. The individual who my client punched suffered serious injury to his nose. My client lived out of state and could not come in for the first court date. On the first court date I filed my appearance with the court and spoke with the Assistant State’s Attorney who was handling the case. I convinced him to dismiss all charges even with my client not being present!
