Aggressive Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges
Domestic violence and domestic assault charges can arise from a number of circumstances. When domestic disputes flare up, accusations can fly. When police get involved, they will stay involved even if the accuser tries to “take it back.”
Not all accusations have merit. It is not unusual for one spouse to accuse the other of domestic violence to gain an advantage in a divorce dispute.
Whatever the circumstance of your charge, we can help you mount an intelligent, aggressive defense against these charges. We work proactively to have restraining orders lifted and to help our clients avoid the harsh consequences of domestic violence convictions.
