Pretrial Probation for Investment Banker Charged With Assault and Battery and Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon Dismissed

In June of 2021 police from a suburban Boston town were dispatched to a parking lot for a report of a domestic assault. The caller reported witnessing a man hitting his teenage daughter. Another witness claimed to have seen the man hitting and kicking his daughter in the back. The daughter was located and did not make any statements. The man was charged with assault and battery under G.L. c. 265 section 13A and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon, to wit a shod foot, in violation of G.L. c. 265 section 15A. Attorney Neyman was immediately hired. A continuance without a finding or any form of admission would have resulted in a revocation of the defendant’s banking licenses thereby rendering him unemployable. Today we were able to get the felony charge dismissed and pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 section 87 for the misdemeanor charge. The case will be fully dismissed shortly.
