CRIMINAL / JUVENILE LAW - The Bonderud Law Firm Resolves Juvenile Battery Case with Diversion Agreement

The Bonderud Law Firm was recently retained by the parents of a teenage minor child who was involved in a school classroom fight, which was captured on video. The minor child was charged as a juvenile with battery. After retaining our firm, and on our recommendation, the minor child was evaluated by a psychologist to assess the child for any mental health conditions or concerns. Using the psychologist’s report, as well as other mitigating evidence about the (1) nature and circumstances of the fight and (2) the minor child’s background and future educational and professional plans, our firm was able to secure a resolution that resulted in our client entering a pre-trial intervention program. The terms of the PTI required our client to complete community service, maintain full-time enrollment in school, and pay a modest fine. At the conclusion of the 6-month PTI program, the juvenile criminal case will be dismissed. Because of this outcome, our client who is still a child will be able to truly leave this unfortunate episode in the rearview mirror, having learned from his mistakes.
