Sexual Assault Case Declined

In this matter, the client hired our office after members of Dane County law enforcement contacted him to question him about an allegation of sexual assault.  Our attorney spoke with the detective and ultimately the prosecutor when the case was referred to the District Attorney's Office for potential charges.  Through this process, our attorney was able to provide information to the DA about the client, the complaining witness, and factual details before the prosecutor ever set eyes on the police reports.  The information we provided was not otherwise included in the reports from law enforcement.  With this additional information in mind, the prosecution agreed not to file a criminal charge against our client.  Although the process took several months and was stressful for our client and his family, he appreciated having someone in his corner fighting for him every step of the way.
