(Maricopa County Superior Court No. CR2007-121024): Ms. T. had gone to a bar where she saw her 15 year old daughter drinking. She confronted her daughter later that evening, and her daughter admitted she was using methamphetamine and was very defiant. Eventually the two were involved in a physical fight which left both bleeding. The police were called and Ms. T. was arrested. Originally she was charged with a misdemeanor assault, but then the City Prosecutor dismissed charges and routed the case to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for felony charges. Ms. T. was charged with a felony, and was facing potential prison time. We were able to negotiate a plea to a misdemeanor with zero days in jail.
