Charges of Strangulation and Domestic Assault and Battery Against Physician Dismissed

The defendant is a physician living in the metro Boston area. On January 8, 2020 police in the town where he lives were dispatched to his residence where they were met by his wife, the victim. She reported that the defendant had been drinking excessively and that when he does he becomes physically abusive to her. On this occasion she alleged that our client was drinking and became verbally abusive. When she demanded that he leave the home he told her to call the police. She initially did not. Then, the defendant allegedly started to choke her by grabbing her by the throat and pinning her against the wall. She could not breathe. She further complained that our client next threw her to the ground, knelt on her and beat her. Police noticed and photographed redness to the woman’s neck and her lip cut. The doctor was arrested and charged with strangulation under G.L. c. 265 section 15D and domestic assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13M. Attorney Stephen Neyman was hired. Today, we were able to get all charges dismissed.
