Assault and battery
Domestic Violence
Long Beach Courthouse, February 2020
Our client was accused of an assault and battery in violation of Penal Code section 242 in a Long Beach club. The claim was that he assaulted another person on the dance floor. Our investigation showed that he was a victim as well. Our interviews of other witnesses revealed that a large altercation broke out between several people and our client was knocked to the floor. Working with the Long Beach City Prosecutor’s Office, we were able to get the case dismissed.
