Collin County Grand Jury Returns “No Bill” in Family Assault Case — Whalen Law Partner Ryne Sandel Secures Major Client Victory

Whalen Law Office is pleased to announce that Partner Ryne T. Sandel has successfully obtained a “no bill” decision from a Collin County grand jury on behalf of a client accused of misdemeanor assault causing bodily injury to a family member.

The case involved allegations from the client’s ex-spouse during a routine child drop-off. Understanding the stakes — not only for the client’s criminal record but also for an ongoing family law matter — Ryne took swift and proactive action. He assembled and submitted a series of mitigating documents and evidence to the prosecutor, which were then reviewed by the grand jury.

After evaluating all materials, the grand jury chose not to issue an indictment, meaning no criminal charges will be filed.

This result provides the client with a clean record and strengthens his position in his family proceedings. It also demonstrates the importance of thorough case preparation, early communication with prosecutors, and a strong understanding of how criminal and family law intersect.

At Whalen Law Office, we are committed to protecting our clients’ rights, reputations, and futures — especially when their families and livelihoods are at stake.

The firm congratulates Ryne on this outstanding outcome and his continued dedication to justice for clients throughout Collin County and North Texas.

If you’re facing a criminal charge or investigation, early legal representation can make a crucial difference.
