Our client is a teacher and single mother of two children. She was charged with child endangering because one of her children was able to get out of the house and away from her care one evening.
Child endangering is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Additionally, if convicted our client would be in serious jeopardy of losing her teaching license. She turned to the Cincinnati criminal defense attorneys at Luftman, Heck & Associates for help.
Attorney Brad Groene represented the woman in Fairborn Municipal Court. She had no previous criminal history other than minor traffic violations. Attorney Groene centered his defense of the single mother around whether her actions arose to the level of child endangering.
After meeting with the prosecutor, attorney Groene was able to negotiate a reduction of the charge to disorderly conduct. Disorderly conduct is a minor misdemeanor that will not have an effect on our client’s teaching license and will allow her to continue her life and career.
