Can Assault Charges Be Dropped?

Posted by Gerald Miller on Jul 7, 2020

No. The alleged victim is technically a witness in an assault case, and witnesses do not have the authority to bring or drop charges. Only the state has such power. If an alleged victim or any other witness refuses to cooperate, prosecutors could issue a subpoena.

In my own experience with Mr. Kyle dreger, he was incredibly professional and down to earth while simultaneously being comforting and light hearted to work with on my case. He managed to lower a possible several year prison sentence down to a year of house arrest with probation time. I would recommend Mr. Dreger to anyone in need of legal assistance. Mr. Dreger fought for me to ensure I got the best possible outcome from my case

I have been working with Kyle for almost 2.5 years on my case. We literally had a court appearance in the morning and they told us to be available for when they call us to come in for free trial that's how far I took it because I believe in my case was one that I could win. Kyle put in diligent work all throughout the two and a half years and he called me about an hour before court closed and I thought he was going to tell me what time to show up in the morning for jury trial but it turns out he was calling with good news they were dropping the charges because they I lost two of their credible witnesses. So we appeared an hour later in front of the judge and the prosecuting attorney and the dropped the biggest charge the one that we wanted dropped all along and Kyle is just amazing to work with him so polite and so quick to respond. If you need an attorney I would definitely meet with him get a feel for what his thoughts are and if you like him hire him cuz he shows up and he works hard and he will fight for you no matter what! So if you're ever in need of a good criminal defense attorney definitely look up Kyle!Shannon

Kyle helped me come out of a very difficult situation , I was really stressed out and in panic state. Kyle did everything he could do for me and got me the best possible outcome i could get. Kyle is very good at communicating the possible outcomes upfront with no false promises which sets the right expectation. I could not thank Kyle enough for getting me the result I got. I would definitely recommend Kyle for very smooth and timely resolution of the case.
