Assault and Vandalism Attorney

I did not serve any jail time for smashing my girlfriend’s car window in a drunken rage. I can honestly say I really am a peaceful person, that is until I drink too much and people I thought I had a relationship with, decide they do not want to be around me anymore. I really still love my girlfriend, but when I saw her pack up her things and that of our child, I kind of lost my mind. I took a baseball bat and smashed the window of her car, hoping it would prevent her from leaving. What ended up happening was the neighbors called the police, and they took me away in handcuffs. I had the presence of mind to keep my mouth shut, except to ask for my one phone call. I called my dad and asked him to get an attorney to get me out of jail on my own recognizance. That was not going to happen either, because my girlfriend decided to press charges for vandalism and attempted assault on her. It was a Friday evening and the court was not going to convene until Monday, only then would I be able to have my time in front of a judge. The thought of spending the weekend in jail, was not a good one, so my father put up his house as a guarantee that I would appear in court on Monday, so I did not have to spend it in jail and allowed me to stay with him. I could not stay with my girlfriend as she did not want anything to do with me ... not that I really blame her. On Monday when I saw the judge, with my assault attorney present, a plan was worked out whereby I would have to spend 60 days in a rehabilitation institution, to dry out from alcohol, take anger management classes and obey a restraining order that my girlfriend had taken out against me.
