Toms River DCPP Lawyer gets Order to Show Cause Dismissed

Barry W.

Ocean County

Our client was accused of assaulting his older son.  However, the client indicated that he was defending his younger son who was being assault by the other older one.  The two sons were from different mothers and as a result, this litigation only dealt with the younger son.  The thought process here from the State is that if someone assaults one child, they will assault another.  Of course, there is nothing to support that logic and Jef argued to the court that the case should be dismissed.  The court adjourned the order to show cause to another date for further consideration.  On the return date, the order to show cause was dismissed.
