A mother in her 40s was accused of abandoning her son in a city where he knew no one. Prosecutors alleged the mother had left the boy to fend for himself and charged her with child endangering. The information in the charges was wrong, and the mother knew she needed help from an attorney to set the record straight.
She turned to Attorney Brad Groene of the Cincinnati Criminal Defense team for help. Our client had no previous criminal record, and we saw how devastating this kind of charge was to her life.
We defended her in Vandalia Municipal Court, and fought to keep this black mark off of our client’s perfect record. We told prosecutors the facts presented were inaccurate, but initially our arguments fell on deaf ears and no deals were offered. The case was set for trial.
Ultimately, the prosecutor realized the flaws in the case and offered to allow our client to plead guilty to disorderly conduct instead of child endangering. She agreed, and only had to pay a fine and court costs to finish the case. She received no jail time and no probation.
