Client was charged with Criminal Damage to Property in Cherokee County Superior Court and was being held without bond. Our team was able to get client out on bond and begin to heal. Client suffered from mental health issues and had an existing case in Cherokee County State Court for Simple Battery that he was in a diversion program for. Through our attorneys’ negotiation skills, and client’s commitment, client was able to enter into the Treatment Accountability Court program with an agreement to dismiss both cases if he completed the program. The Cherokee County Treatment Accountability Court is an accountability court program that seeks to benefit the community by providing intensive treatment services to persons who are facing criminal charges due, in part, to untreated or undertreated mental illness. Upon client successfully completing the Treatment Accountability Court program, client’s charges in both cases were dismissed.
