Shaw 3 Law Firm Case Results

CHARGE REDUCED TO DISTURBING THE PEACE FROM PC 273a(b) (Willful Cruelty to Child) (PEOPLE Vs. A.O):

It was supposed to be a special night for our client, a time to relax and celebrate with her family. She decided to stay at home with her husband, sharing a few drinks to mark the occasion. But as the night went on, things got a little out of hand. Concerned about her behavior, the husband asked their daughter to call 911 for help. In the heat of the moment, our client tried to grab the phone from her daughter to prevent the call—but not with any intention to harm. Unfortunately, the daughter misinterpreted the situation, claiming that her mother was hitting her.

When law enforcement arrived, the client was arrested for PC 273a(b) Willful Cruelty to a Child, a charge that, in the client’s mind, seemed far too severe for what happened. She knew her behavior was wrong, but it didn’t rise to the level of cruelty. Realizing she needed help, the client reached out to Walter Shaw at Shaw 3 Law Firm.

Mr. Shaw took on the case, carefully working with the District Attorney’s office. After skilled negotiations, he was able to get the Willful Cruelty to a Child charge dismissed and secured a plea to a much lesser charge of Disturbing the Peace. Even better, the client avoided jail time and any fines or fees.

The client was relieved and grateful to move forward with her life, knowing she had the right help when she needed it most.

To his shock, law enforcement launched a DUI investigation and arrested him, putting his promising medical career and reputation on the line.
Feeling overwhelmed and desperate, he reached out to DUI Lawyer Walter Shaw at Shaw 3 Law Firm.
