Domestic Violence

One of the most common charges in our area involves allegations of family violence, also known as intimate partner violence, including stalking, cruelty to children, assault, and battery. Family violence is very concerning and our courts should take it seriously. However, we also recognize it is a serious matter to be falsely accused of this particular crime. Many of our clients are rightfully concerned about the effect these charges will have on their reputation, their career, and their civil liberties.

Also, as attorneys with past experience handling numerous family law cases, we understand violence allegations often are used as leverage before and during divorce and custody proceedings. In these situations, it is important to have an experienced attorney help you navigate the criminal proceedings and coordinate with your divorce counsel to ensure your rights, especially your parental rights, are protected to the maximum extent afforded by law.

Although we have helped many men accused of domestic violence, increasingly our firm has been privileged to represent women facing assault and battery charges. Many of our clients are not only falsely accused but are in fact victims of violence. Even the very best law enforcement officers make mistakes in these cases as it is often impossible to identify the primary aggressor.
