Child Endangerment Charge Dismissed

After a verbal domestic dispute with her husband, an allegedly intoxicated mom drove off with her toddler in the car. Her husband called the police, who charged the woman with a DUI and endangering the welfare of a child.

The client pled guilty to the DUI but feared the stigma of a child endangerment charge. A conviction would have prevented her from being involved in her child’s future academic and extra-curricular activities. Luckily, Skinner convinced the DA to dismiss her endangerment charges, and she faced no jail time.
