Felony Domestic Violence Charge Dismissed
TILDEN LAW was contacted by a client recently who was facing a charge of Felony Domestic Violence Battery by Strangulation and Witness Tampering in Seminole County, Florida. According to the police affidavit, our client was involved in an argument with his wife relating to a variety of domestic issues. As the argument escalated, the report indicated that our client grabbed his wife by the throat with his hands and attempted to strangle her until she almost lost consciousness. The report further indicated that the alleged victim attempted to use her cell phone to call 911 but it was taken from her by our client in an attempt to prevent her from calling police.
Our office became involved shortly after our client was arrested and while he was being held in jail without bond. Attorney N. Fleetwood Tilden, immediately filed a motion for bond with the court. During the hearing, the court granted our motion as well as our further request that our client be released without special condition of no victim contact and no return to the shared residence. As the case progressed, Mr. Tilden was able to negotiate a resolution where the State Attorney dismissed the both Felony charges. Our client ultimately resolved his case with a non-conviction to a misdemeanor charge.

The TILDEN LAW firm was recently hired to represent a repeat client accused in Seminole County, Florida of Battery Domestic Violence against his former girlfriend. The alleged victim called 911 after she and our client became involved a verbal argument. When law enforcement arrived, the victim filed a sworn written report that she was struck by our client resulting in raised red marks on her neck and arm.
During the initial meeting and interview of our client, attorney N. Fleetwood Tilden determined that it may be possible to achieve a case dismissal by negotiating a “pre-filing” disposition. Mr. Tilden contacted the State Attorney’s office and convinced the prosecutor to dismiss the criminal case once our client provided proof of completion of an anger management class within 30 days. We complied within the time given which resulted in a dismissal of all charges.

Last week TILDEN LAW was contacted by a former client who we represented on a DUI charge in Seminole County, Florida that was successfully resolved as a lesser charge of Reckless Driving. As a condition of his sentence, our client was placed on probation with a special condition of probation that he neither possess nor consume alcohol. Unfortunately, our client tested positive for alcohol during a meeting with his counselors. As a result of the positive test result, our client’s probation officer violated his probation and the judge issued a VOP warrant with no bond.
Attorney N. Fleetwood Tilden, contacted the State Attorney’s office and was able to convince the prosecutor not to object to our client being granted a bond. Mr. Tilden also researched the test used at the counselors office to test our client for alcohol and determined that there are additional environmental factors which may cause a “false positive” result. Mr. Tilden filed a Motion to Recall Warrant and was ultimately successful in convincing the judge to recall the arrest warrant without ever arresting our client and allow our client to remain out of custody pending his hearing.
