Alhambra, Three Clients Convicted Of Misdemeanor Battery Arising Out Of A Fight In a Restaurant, Probation Terminated Early and Convictions Expunged – Attorney Success # 7
Our clients, a Chinese family with a mid-thirties daughter and parents in their sixties, were charged with battery upon another Chinese family in a Rosemead Chinese restaurant. The father, age 62, had been originally charged with felony battery, but charges were reduced to misdemeanor. The mother and daughter were charged with many counts of battery, as well as elder abuse due to the age of one of the victims, but ultimately each pled to one count of misdemeanor simple battery.
The daughter was a middle-school teacher and was understandably concerned about the effect of a conviction for battery on her employment. The mother was a volunteer at her grandkids’ preschool and she had similar concerns. The father was a businessman who had many clients who he suspected performed background checks on him before doing business with him.
Therefore, when each of our clients had fulfilled all terms of their plea bargain and had reached the half-way mark of their summary probation, they contacted us to explore early termination of their probation and expungment.
Our office assembled both a motion for modification of probation and motion for expungment for each client. The motion contained a declaration from each client with exhibits showing each had moved forward with their life, only to be shadowed by being on probation and having a conviction.
The Alhambra judge hearing the motions, granted all six motions over the arguments of the District Attorney that a plea bargain was a contract and our clients had not fulfilled all of its terms. The District Attorney also argued that our clients had not paid restitution to the so-called victims, but the judge held that the District Attorney had waived his right to conduct such a hearing by not setting one earlier.
Our clients were satisfied, as the daughter’s job as a teacher was no longer tinged by a conviction for battery. The mother’s ability to volunteer at her grandchildren’s school was no longer in jeopardy due to being on probation or having a conviction. And the father’s record was clean once again.
