Cruelty to Animals – Case Dismissed

Clifton Black recently represented a client who was charged with cruelty to animals. The client initially represented himself and received a plea offer from the prosecutor that would have required the client to plead guilty, complete various requirements, and have a negative mark on his record. This could have resulted in the client losing his security clearance, potentially being passed over for promotions, and any potential future employers being able to see the results of the plea agreement.

The client took advantage of the free consultation offered by the Law Offices of Clifton Black, PC, for criminal defense cases. At the consultation, the client learned that the allegations against him were weak and that there were defenses in his case.

For representation, the client hired Clifton Black of the Law Offices of Clifton Black, PC. Cliff subpoenaed various documents from the treating veterinarian that the prosecutor claimed did not exist. Cliff discussed the situation with the vet, who agreed that animals can get sick for various reasons that do not amount to animal cruelty.

The attorney presented this information to the prosecutor, who agreed to dismiss.

When first receiving criminal defense charges, many individuals feel rushed to accept the prosecutor’s initial plea to “get it over with.” Our firm understands what our clients are experiencing—and for that reason, we offer a free, half-hour consultation for criminal defense matters. At that time, one of our veteran defense attorneys will discuss the details of the case and provide straightforward guidance on the severity of the charges.
