Domestic Violence Defense Attorney
A variety of offenses, including assault, battery, and false imprisonment may fall under the general headings of domestic violence or domestic abuse. Domestic violence can be an allegation of physical violence causing injuries, or just the possibility of injury. Over the past few years, law enforcement has developed new policies, the court system has implemented changes, and prosecuting attorneys have taken an active role in zealously enforcing both new and existing laws. These crimes are aggressively prosecuted, and even if the victim tells the court and prosecutor they do not wish to press charges, the case will not be dismissed due to the nature of the charges and emotional aspect of the relationship. Jail time is routinely sought even on first offenses.
