Black, Blink & Associates is proud to recognize Attorney Peter Blink for securing a complete dismissal in a highly sensitive and complex domestic violence case out of El Paso County. The client was charged with Second Degree Assault (strangulation), Third Degree Assault, Harassment, and a Domestic Violence enhancer, allegations that carry severe consequences, including mandatory jail time, long-term protection orders, and loss of constitutional rights.
This case involved a deeply emotional backdrop. Both parties had been drinking heavily, and tensions escalated during an argument. Evidence later revealed that the alleged victim, who was grieving a recent miscarriage and the loss of a parent, was the aggressor during the incident. The couple had also been discussing separation, adding further strain to an already volatile situation.
Understanding the gravity of the allegations and their potential impact on the client’s future, Peter took immediate action. He crafted a targeted motions strategy and successfully persuaded the court to modify the protection order, allowing the parties to begin addressing their relationship safely and constructively. This early win set the tone for the remainder of the case.
As further evidence was examined, including statements, witness information, and behavioral context the District Attorney’s office determined that the charges could not be sustained. They ultimately filed a Motion to Dismiss all charges.
The result:
- All charges dismissed
- Case sealed instantly
- Gun rights restored
- Reputation preserved
- Client able to return home
This outcome reflects Peter’s precision, strategic litigation, and ability to navigate emotionally charged domestic cases with clarity and skill. His defense ensured that the legal system saw the full picture, leading to justice for his client.
