A sex crimes detective came knocking on the door of Dr. S.A.’s house one night seeking to ask questions about a several-year-old criminal sexual allegation and to obtain “his side” of the story for review with the prosecution intake team. Fortunately, Dr. S.A. thought to quickly Google for a lawyer and found Matassini Law’s hundreds of 5-star reviews and a biography of its Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer. Attorney Nicholas Matassini stopped the detective from questioning Dr. S.A. at that time. He sought a delay of several days to give Dr. S.A. and him more time to discuss the allegations and a proper course of action. The detective happily obliged.
Dr. S.A. was perplexed and denied any allegations of rape and wrongdoing. His new wife was understandably flabbergasted at the matter, and nasty thoughts swirled in her head. Dr. S.A. did his best to keep his composure and sought a confidential consultation at Matassini Law. He had only a vague idea who it could be, and he had no idea why – it was so long ago. The heinous allegations, if proven, however, would certainly destroy his career and land him in prison for over a decade.
Speaking with the detective a few days later, Nicholas learned a few facts about the allegations and immediately utilized his private investigator to scour the internet and other resources for information to assist in the good doctor’s defense. In addition, Matassini Law partnered with a retired FBI agent to conduct a lie detector test on Dr. S.A., which he passed. The investigative report from the FBI agent proved invaluable in bolstering our defense and undermining the allegations.
Armed with a passed lie detector test, inside information about the alleged victim, Dr. S.A. sailed through the questioning session with the detective unscathed. Nicholas then drafted a powerful legal argument to the prosecution team urging them to decline to file formal charges on such weak allegations. On week later Dr. S.A. received a letter advising that no charges would be filed.
Dr. S.A. got his life, medical practice, and peace of mind back.
