When A Loved One Accuses You Of Violence, We Take Up Your Cause

If a loved one falsely accuses you of committing an act of violence against them, chances are, you feel betrayed. Not only that, but because prosecutors today are so tough on domestic violence, you face an uphill battle in court. Our domestic violence attorneys will take your side, exposing false allegations and challenging aggressive prosecutors who overcharge in their zeal to look tough. Whether it’s a spouse, a partner, or another person living in your household who’s accusing you, we examine all their claims with a wary eye. While we realize that true domestic violence is a grave issue, many of these cases are made up or exaggerated in the aftermath of a child custody dispute or another type of family dispute. We examine the evidence and aggressively depose and cross-examine the other side’s witness and the accuser to get to the truth. Get us on your side today.

What Are Domestic Violence Charges?

In most states, domestic violence includes intimidation, harassment, and interfering with a family member’s personal liberty in addition to physical abuse. These are serious charges – and you’re facing a tough road ahead. It doesn’t have to be that way. With one of our domestic violence lawyers to represent you, we can find holes in the prosecution’s case, uncover lies by witnesses, and find procedural errors by the investigating officers. If you did commit a violent act against a loved one in a heated moment, we will work tirelessly to get your charges reduced so that you can enter counseling and anger management classes with a promise to have the charges expunged in exchange for a given time of changed behavior. With our representation, there is hope. Contact us today to learn how.

What’s The Difference Between Simple And Aggravated Battery?

Although state laws vary on some of the details, simple battery is the act of engaging in unwanted physical contact while trying to injure them. Under most circumstances, simple battery is a misdemeanor. Aggravated battery, though, is when you intend to do severe bodily harm to the other party or if you attack someone especially vulnerable. If convicted of aggravated battery, you’ll likely face huge fines and significant prison time. To have the best chance of having the charges dropped or prevailing in court, you need a criminal lawyer whose passion for justice drives them to defend you with meticulous research, aggressive cross-examination, and a thorough knowledge of criminal law.

What Could Happen to Me if Convicted?

Depending on the circumstances, a jury could find you guilty of either a misdemeanor or felony. Although misdemeanors result in shorter sentences and lesser fines, they usually mean some time in jail and a significant drop in your bank account. Under certain circumstances, the prosecutor can upgrade your charges to the felony level. In that case, you’re looking at significant prison time and hefty fines. Long-term consequences include difficulties in finding work, losing custody of children, limits in firearm ownership, inability to enter institutions of higher learning, and more. Don’t risk these consequences. Let us take up your cause today.
