At Matassini Law Firm, our strategic and proactive approach to defending our clients often makes all the difference. Recently, we successfully defended a prominent local businessman who faced life-altering consequences following a domestic violence arrest. With Florida’s tough stance on domestic violence, law enforcement officers are almost always required to make an arrest when responding to a call, even when the facts are questionable. Unfortunately, this meant our client was immediately thrust into a situation that threatened his freedom and his entire career. Nicholas Matassini was ready to defend the case and take it to trial if needed.
Our client was at risk of facing a felony conviction, which carries up to 5 years in prison, for allegedly choking his girlfriend during a heated argument. Conduct he adamantly denied. He also lost his professional standing, reputation, and future opportunities. Our experienced defense team sprang into action from the moment we were retained, prioritizing an aggressive and thorough investigation. We examined every detail, interviewed key witnesses, and uncovered evidence that seriously doubted the allegations against our client.
We engaged the prosecution early with our findings, presenting compelling reasons to drop the case before any formal charges were filed. Our relentless advocacy and well-developed case strategy made the difference, resulting in a complete dismissal. Thanks to our efforts, our client walked away with his freedom, career, and reputation intact.
Nicholas and his award-winning defense team fight tirelessly for their clients, leveraging in-depth law knowledge and crafting winning defense strategies. With a team of former prosecutors and over 300 five-star Google reviews, we are committed to achieving exceptional results. We uncover every angle, explore all defenses, and never stop working for our clients. If you face serious charges, trust Nicholas and Matassini Law to fight for your future.
