Domestic Violence Overview

A Place to Turn After a Domestic Violence Charge

Most people charged with domestic violence (DV) for the first time are surprised when they start realizing the consequences of a conviction. Fines, incarceration, loss of rights to see the children can be horrific consequences for some. A criminal conviction of any kind can be devastating to your future job prospects, as well.

Causes of Domestic Violence Charges

In our 50 years of experience, we have seen many different causes or contributing factors of domestic violence charges, some of them legitimate and some more coincidental:

• Concerned neighbors: Sometimes neighbors hear raised voices, or sounds of struggle and call the police, even though really nothing was happening.
• Escalated emotions: Every family goes through intense times, and emotions escalate through the course of an argument. Reason gives way to passion and people do things they would not otherwise do.
• Alcohol or drugs: Whenever there is an emotionally charged situation, the addition of drugs and alcohol only makes things worse.

Our experienced attorneys will break down the fact patterns and work with witnesses to present your story accurately and help you get your case dismissed. The potential consequences of a conviction are too severe for you to take any changes. Get our experienced criminal defense attorneys on your side.
