The client, a 29 year old green card holder from Honduras, was arrested after police alleged she struck the victim and her son after being caught in an affair with the victim’s husband, was represented by Boston Criminal Attorney Steven J. Topazio. According to the police report, the client was charged with an Assault and Battery on victim and her son, after pulling the victim’s hair and pushing the son when she got in between the victim and her husband who allegedly attacked the victim and kicked her. Attorney Topazio met with the supervising district attorney in an attempt to avoid a trial and represented not only did his client have an alibi to this crime but felt it was unfair to only prosecute the client in this situation and not the husband. Although the district attorney offered a continuance without a finding, Attorney Topazio requested pre-trial probation arguing that it is both arbitrary and unfair to only charge his client with a crime, and not the husband for his similar and arguably more egregious conduct. Attorney Topazio pointed out that this case primarily revolves around his client having an affair with the victim’s husband after the victim discovered a sex video. Attorney Topazio argued that the discovery of this sex tape is what is motiving the victim to fabricate the allegations against his client. Today, Attorney Topazio convinced the district attorney to grant his client pre-trial probation, thus avoiding a trial and any immigration consequences, and the court agreed.
