CRIMINAL MISCHIEF ($200–$1,000) (F.S. 806.13(1)(B)2)
LESSER CHARGE AND DISMISSAL
Escambia County, FL
August 14, 2025
Client was charged in Escambia County, Florida with CRIMINAL MISCHIEF ($200–$1,000) (F.S. 806.13(1)(B)2) and BATTERY—TOUCH OR STRIKE (F.S. 784.03(1)(A)1). When a case includes an alleged violence count, the collateral consequences can be immediate—no-contact conditions, employment risk, and reputational harm—before any final outcome is reached.
We negotiated with leverage and disciplined trial readiness to reduce long-term damage. The result was a controlled resolution: a plea to a reduced/local ordinance AFFRAY, with the remaining counts NOLLE PROSEQUI, limiting exposure and avoiding the worst-case record impact of the original allegations. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes; each case depends on its facts and circumstances.
