FIREFIGHTER’S LTC WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, BUT ATTORNEY PATRICK J. NOONAN GETS HIS CLIENT’S LTC REINSTATED.

Client has been a longtime firefighter and paramedic. He is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. The client was embroiled in a bitter, contentious divorce and custody battle with his ex-wife. His LTC was suspended after his ex-wife went into the police station and reported that the client had been physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive throughout their marriage. The ex-wife also called the Chief of Police and requested that the client’s LTC be suspended due to his alleged history of abuse, and she did not feel safe with him possessing weapons. As a result of the ex-wife’s allegations, allegations including a multitude of many serious criminal offenses, the police department suspended the client’s LTC.

Result: Attorney Patrick J. Noonan immediately appealed the LTC suspension. Attorney Noonan negotiated with the Attorney for the police department and presented extensive evidence of his client’s character and suitability, and Attorney Noonan pointed out issues surrounding the wife’s allegations. After months of negotiation, the police department agreed to reinstate the client’s LTC.
