Domestic Violence Charges Are Complex

Do you believe that you have been falsely accused of domestic violence? Does the alleged victim want to drop the charges against you?

When the police arrive at the scene of a domestic dispute, they often are ready to arrest someone. When a person is charged with domestic violence, the alleged victim does not have the right to drop the charges. The prosecuting lawyers will often ignore the request and continue to pursue a conviction.

This adds an interesting element to these cases — an element we are prepared to deal with.

You Don't Want to Face the Consequences of a Conviction

If you are convicted of a domestic violence or domestic assault charge, you will have to deal with fines. You may face incarceration. You may also have to deal with a protection-from-abuse or PFA order that keeps you away from your home and your family. We have handled thousands of domestic violence and PFA cases.

Our goal is to prevent you from having to deal with these life-changing consequences. We are good at achieving our goals.

We Fight for You!

Going to court is not something that we shy away from. We know very well that prosecutors are not always willing to play fair and agree to an acceptable resolution.

In those situations, your defense must be presented at trial. We understand courtroom techniques and the best strategies for convincing a judge or jury. We know how to explore every opportunity to obtain positive outcomes in cases involving domestic violence charges.
