Protecting Your Rights in Domestic Violence Matters
Some fighting and arguments are a normal part of most relationships. If things in your relationship are already stressful because of divorce filings or money problems, you may feel as though you cannot handle one more problem. However, if you lose your temper or lose control and threaten or strike your spouse, you may be facing criminal charges.

Understanding the Details of the Fight
Domestic battery is generally defined as touching someone without his or her consent and causing harm to that person. When we defend clients who are facing domestic violence charges, the first thing we do is investigate the details of the reported violence, including:
- What injuries did the victim suffer?
- How did the police become aware of the violence?
- Did the police come into the house without permission?
- Did the police take statements without informing you of your rights?
- How much time has elapsed since the fight?
- Are the two parties reconciled?
- What is the victim hoping to accomplish?
- Is the victim in contact with the prosecutor?
Domestic violence charges can have a serious negative impact on child custody arrangements. We know mistakes happen, and we will fight aggressively to protect our clients' rights at every stage of the process.
