After a trial in DC Superior Court, Brown Goldstein & Levy partner Jacqueline Cadman secured a victory for her client and successfully defended him in a Civil Protection Order (CPO) case.
Through skilled and methodical cross-examination, Jacqui persuaded the Court that the petitioner seeking the CPO had not only falsely accused her client of criminal offenses but had also altered the evidence being used to purport these untrue allegations. After her cross-examination of the petitioner revealed the unreliability of the accusations, Jacqui was able to show that the request for a CPO against her client was actually a tactic being used to obtain strategic advantage in a pending child custody case. Following a contentious trial, the Court sided with Jacqui and denied the Petitioner’s motion for the CPO.
