Violation of Protective Order / State v J.B.

Client was going through a nasty divorce. His ex-wife was already dating a police officer who was helping my client get harassed and her stay peachy clean. She was adamant to go to trial and wanted to use this case against him in family law proceedings. She was supposed to move out of the house on a certain day by noon. He went to the house to make sure she was gone since she texted him that he left the dog, but when he showed up they were there filming him saying that he was violating the protective order. We were able to show how she took everything from the house, not just the toilet paper roll holder, but even the fans, lights and smoke detectors. Jury really didn’t like her and her character really shined through. This was a great example of a judge stepping in and directing the jury to find him Not Guilty. The DAs hands were tied because this new administration won’t dismiss anything with any alleged domestic violence associated with it. Thankfully I was able to restore this father back in his children’s lives and not let his ex-wife manipulate the criminal justice system.
