During a contentious custody dispute our client was arrested and jailed for breaking and entering the family home. It was alleged that our client did not have permission to be in the home, threatened those who were present, and violated an order of protection. Suspecting that the whole story had not been told we launched our own investigation and prepared for the grand jury presentation. Rarely does a client testify before the grand jury because they typically must waive their 5th Amendment right to remain silent. However, given the various family and criminal ramifications we proceeded to present evidence and testimony for the grand jury’s consideration. Afterwards the grand jury declined to indict our client and within 24 hours we had submitted the decision to the judge whereby our client was released from custody. We now proceed to family court to settle custody of the children. Having a competent legal team capable of addressing all aspects of a situation is paramount in these situations.
