State vs. JC

The Client was involved in an incident where the Client allegedly struck a worker for a tree-trimming company with his vehicle when the worker was blocking the Client’s car when he was attempting to exit a storage unit facility. Upon the incident occurring, the Client immediately retained Attorney Anthony Rickman who proactively contacted both Detectives and the State prior to any charges being filed or arrests made in order to provide evidence that the Client did not intentionally hit the worker. Upon reviewing this evidence, the State agreed to file the charge as a Misdemeanor Battery charge rather than Felony Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.  The charge was then dismissed against the Client upon successful completion of a diversion program.
