Our client was accused of physically assaulting his wife in front of his child. Our client was an undocumented Spanish-speaking immigrant. Utilizing our organic Spanish-speaking assets, we were able to negotiate the ultimate dismissal of the case. We showed the prosecution that the immigration consequences to the family, including the alleged victim and child, outweighed the benefit of further prosecution. The language barrier between the alleged victim and the government provided the defense a distinct advantage, as CDH Law was the only entity capable of communicating directly with all parties involved. We were able to communicate with everyone in the family (including the complaining witness), clear up confusion, and effectively convey the true nature of events to the prosecution. The potential immigration consequences of a case such as this one cannot be understated.
Endangering the Welfare of a Child and assault charges dismissed
