Domestic Violence

Being accused of or charged with domestic violence can severely harm your reputation and your standing in your community, at your job, and with your friends and family. And if you get convicted, you may face harsh penalties, such as incarceration and difficulty finding new employment.

Domestic violence cases are often multi-faceted and involve many layers of complexity and circumstance. For example, in a single domestic violence case, assault and battery laws, family laws, and even drug possession laws may come into play. In addition, many domestic assault cases involve orders of protection and restraining orders, which can further complicate matters.

Get an Attorney Who Understands How to Handle Domestic Violence Charges

If your spouse or partner has an order of protection or no-contact order against you, that can lead to your arrest if domestic violence is suspected—even if your spouse or partner doesn’t want to press charges. Getting arrested and charged with domestic violence or spousal abuse due to a misunderstanding or due to a false accusation is not uncommon, but an experienced attorney will know how to separate fact from fiction and protect your rights.
