Domestic Assault: Dismissed
November 2011
Two brothers had a physical altercation in their parents’ home.  The incident began with the two brothers spending the day drinking.  Some time thereafter, the two got into a verbal disagreement.  The agreement escalated when the younger brother picked up a chair and threw it at his older brother in their family home.  The two then engaged in a fight, which prompted the older brother to contact 9-1-1 and notify the police that he had been assaulted.  The younger brother was placed under arrest and a no-contact order was imposed preventing him from having any contact with his brother.  The younger brother retained Attorney Calcagni to represent him in this matter.  Attorney Calcagni successfully negotiated at a pretrial conference for the dismissal of this charge.  The case and its charge were dismissed and the younger brother will not sustain a criminal record from this incident.
