Our client was charged with misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct in Prescott Valley Magistrate Court based on a reported altercation. We immediately conducted an independent defense investigation rather than relying solely on the police reports.

Through careful review of the evidence, witness statements, and surrounding circumstances, we discovered key information that had not previously been found by police. We presented mitigation to the prosecutor and evidence demonstrating that the alleged victim had instigated the incident, substantially undermining the State's case.

After reviewing our presentation and the additional information provided, the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charges.

Result: All charges dismissed.
