Torrance Domestic Violence Lawyer Success # 1

Our client was driving with his girlfriend down Torrance Boulevard at approximately 11:00 p.m. when they began arguing.  While stopped at a traffic light, our client's girlfriend decided to leave the car, so she got out of the car.  The area was not a safe area and it was quite far from her own car or even a pay phone.  Our client also exited his car to encourage his girlfriend to get back in the car.

A physical struggle and an argument ensued, wherein the girlfriend did fall to the ground.  A witness, looking from an apartment window, allegedly saw the "fight" and ran out to the scene to "rescue" the girlfried while another neighbor summoned the police to the scene.

Our client was booked and charged with one count of Penal Code Section 242, battery, a misdemeanor and one count of Penal Code Section 243(e)(1), battery against a significant other, a misdemeanor.  These were devastating charges for our client, who had just graduated college and dreamed of becoming a fireman.

Greg Hill wrote several letters to the District Attorney’s office in Torrance about the case and its problems.  His efforts were successful, as the District Attorney, in conversations with Mr. Hill, agreed to dismiss the case against our client.

Had the case proceeded to trial, our client faced a maximum of 2 years in state prison.  Instead, the case was dismissed.  Our client can now apply as a fireman without any convictions on his record to hold him back.
