Villa Park Domestic Violence Lawyers

The police arrived on scene and knocked on the front door of the home and someone locked the door from the inside. After continuing to knock on the door, the victim

 opened the door and attempted to exit with her dog on a leash. She was crying hysterically and the police observed signs of abuse including a slight laceration above the victim’s left eye and dry blood on her fingers. The police requested for medics to stage based on the observed injuries.

The police entered the residence and observed our client underneath the basement stairwell attempting to conceal himself. The accuser stated that our client threw her against the wall in the kitchen and began hitting her. She advised she hit the back of her head on the wall.

After carefully reviewing the police reports and information in the state’s discovery production, we took an aggressive position and advised our client to set this matter for trial.

Our trial attorneys prepared for trial. We diligently reviewed all of the evidence and prepared to aggressively cross examine any witnesses the state would call against our client.

On the day of trial, our team was prepared and ready to try the case.

The prosecutors did not have sufficient evidence or the cooperation of necessary witnesses to proceed. Had the prosecutors attempted to bring in evidence via hearsay or other means, our experience trial attorney was prepared and would have blocked such a move.

The prosecutors motioned the judge for a continuance.

Our team’s trial attorney successfully objected to the granting of any continuance.

The prosecutors then had no choice but the dismiss the case against our client.
