Family Feud Leads to Shocking Arrest for Assault Charges

Mr. M was arrested on Christmas Day, after his brother and sister-in-law accused him of assaulting the two of them at home. However, Mr. M’s mother, Mrs. M, who was also in the house, witnessed the three of them fighting – contradicting the claim that Mr. M committed the assault.

As Mr. M was arrested, he immediately called us to defend him and protect his interests against a false allegation of assault, which could potentially tear the family apart.

Our defence lawyers’ first task was to ascertain all the existing evidence and conduct our own investigations into the matter. This involved getting witness statements from his mother and character statements from friends and co-workers to further prove his non-violent nature.

Our criminal defence solicitors also pursued the prosecution to disclose their evidence – this included prosecution witness statements, police officer’s statements, and any body-worn footage recorded by the officers when they arrested our client. Our lawyers formulated legal strategies that overwhelmingly proved our client’s innocence, which was backed by witness and character statements and a defence statement that detailed our client’s familial history and his relationship with his brother.

Having submitted all of the evidence to the courtroom, our lawyers continued to push the prosecution, repeatedly, to disclose any evidence they had so we could rigorously examine it for any inconsistencies. With a potential sentence of 5 years in prison for the alleged assault, our lawyers were extremely determined to ensure our client’s acquittal and prevent an innocent man from being wrongfully sentenced.

The prosecution baulked at our overwhelming submissions and discontinued the case, stating they did not have enough forensic evidence to push for a conviction. Thus, our client was fully acquitted of all wrongful charges and was able to return to his family.
