We were recently retained by a client in Walton County, Fl., during a pending investigation for domestic violence battery, which is a misdemeanor of the first degree, and punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $1000 fine.
This was a rare situation because we were contacted prior to the warrant going active.
Once retained, we were able to intervene immediately and helped prevent the warrant from being issued by the court.
The investigation eventually closed out with no arrest and no charges being filed.
Later, we were able to obtain the police report showing the case investigation, and verification that the matter was closed without further application for another warrant, and the client finally had some closure over this ordeal.
If you believe a pending investigation may result in a warrant being issued, or have an outstanding warrant in Walton County, give Lupella & Rehr a call at (850) 362-6655 for a free consultation.
