Torrance, Probation Violation (Penal Code § 166(a)) for Failure to Complete Batterers Program as Part of Domestic Violence Plea Bargain - Attorney Success # 8
Two years before contacting our office, our client had entered a plea bargain in a domestic violence case arising out of Hermosa Beach. One of the terms of the plea bargain was that he complete a 52 week batterers program.
After entering his plea and enrolling in such a program, his mom became very sick, so our client moved to Ontario, Canada to help her. When a post-plea progress hearing in the case was heard, our client was several thousand miles away and a bench warrant was issued for his failure to appear.
After moving to Canada, he abandoned any effort at completing the batterers program through a similar program.
Two years later, he was back in Southern California and, as luck is, he was pulled over at a traffic stop. Police officers saw on their computers that our client had a bench warrant for his arrest, so they arrested him.
Our client then contacted Greg Hill & Associates. Greg immediately contacted the handling City Prosecutor for the case as well as the police department.
At the arraignment, Greg explained to the City Prosecutor the reason behind our client violating probation and his bench warrant. He also asked to have the client placed back on probation under the same terms and conditions (i.e. no punishment for not coming forward to address the situation in two years). The City Prosecutor agreed.
As such, our client avoided a probation violation and was given a second chance to comply with his plea bargain. He was relieved that the court did not punish him.
