Interfering with a Telecommunication Device

Domestic Violence
Domestic Assault, or more commonly, domestic violence is a misdemeanor offense but can be charged as a felony if there are prior offenses or serious injury.
MCL 750.81 states that a person who commits an assault or an assault and battery on a person they are in a relationship with, family, or live with then they can be charged with domestic violence.
In this particular case, we were able to use a special statute called referred to as MCL 769.4a, which allows a person who has been charged with domestic violence to keep the record suppressed so that the public won’t know about it. The legal effect allows someone to honestly say that they have not been convicted of a crime.
This special law is only available to first time offenders and must be approved by the prosecuting attorney. In this particular case, the Washtenaw Prosecutor’s Office was not willing to grant the special status due to the client being charged with two offenses and because of an allegation that children were in the home at the time of the offense.
Luckily for our client we were able to convince the prosecutor otherwise. After speaking with witnesses and gaining additional evidence the prosecutor agreed to change their position dismissing the telecommunications charge outright and allowing our client to have special status for the domestic violence charge.
Our client’s record is now suppressed. His employer as well as the general public will never know that the offense occurred.
