State v. J.C.

Continuance for dismissal. Mr. Adkins negotiated aggressively at the first pretrial, after Mr. Gempeler conclusively established the defenses at the arraignment, including negating a near-automatic Domestic Abuse No Contact Order - a nearly unheard of result at Ridgedale. Still, getting a continuance for dismissal with the allegations raised is no small feat for the Ridgedale courthouse. The family is fully reunited, recommitted and recovering, and the result will be no plea of guilty, no conviction, no criminal record, and automatic expungement once the conditional release term ends, in a few short months. A total win, for people who deserve nothing less.
