Parents Cleared of DCS Abuse Allegations
After an anonymous source reported battery on child DCS got involved in a family’s life and turned it upside-down. Child Services wanted the young parents to agree to a safety plan which would have allowed DCS visits, inspections, and interviews of children.
They contacted Criminal defense lawyer Hessler, who acted quickly to protect their rights and actually explained their options. He negotiated with DCS to have the family pediatrician examine the child and advised his clients to refuse the safety plan. This kept them from going through an invasive investigation and proved the abuse allegation was unsubstantiated.

OVWI & Felony Domestic Violence Resolved
Attorney Hessler recently helped a 41-year-old contactor deal with some very serious charges from two separate incidents. First, the client was found asleep at a stoplight, and following a blood test, he was found to be over the legal limit. This led to an OVWI, which put his license and career at risk. While his OVI was pending, the client also got into an alcohol-fueled argument with his girlfriend. The police eventually arrived and charged him with an additional felony 6 for domestic violence.
Sean Hessler worked fast to resolve all of the clients’ charges with as little possible impact on his life. First, he presented evidence that the girlfriend made false claims regarding the argument because she was angry with the client. As a result, the domestic violence charge was dismissed. This removed the felony for his client, but Hessler also negotiated an OVWI plea that included special driving privileges so he could keep his job.

License Reinstated for Truck Driver
Unfortunately, some people go through their lives unaware of criminal charges filed against them. This can seriously complicate their lives.
Not long ago, a truck driver was pulled over in her personal vehicle without proof of insurance. She left the scene thinking that she’d only need to provide her insurance info. Evidently, criminal charges were filed against her, but she never received the notice. Therefore, she did not appear in court and a default judgment was issued and her license was suspended.
As a truck driver, this put her job in danger. When she became aware of her suspended license, she contacted Hessler Law for help. Criminal attorney Hessler acted fast to protect her livelihood and record. Sean provided her proof of insurance, negotiated with the court to set aside the default judgment, and arranged to have her license reinstated.

Diversion for Minor in Possession of Alcohol
Attorney Sean Hessler assisted a 20-year-old college student after being stopped for walking around campus, holding a beer. A misdemeanor conviction for underage drinking put this student’s record and license at risk, in addition to paying several hundred dollars in fines.
Attorney Hessler had his client admitted into a diversion program that only involved paying a $385 fine. This protected the student’s record, license, and saved them from the inconvenience and costs involved with a minor in possession charge.

Drug Treatment & Probation for VOP

Hessler Law secured a plea that allowed him to stay on probation for an extra year to deal with the new charge as long as he completes drug treatment. This spared him from an almost guaranteed jail sentence and got him the help he really needed.
