Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects the lives of millions of Americans every year.  The physical abuse and damage to relationships can have a lifelong impact on both the victims and the people charged with these crimes.  Often there can be a need for treatment or anger management that is not addressed by the penal system.
 
Domestic violence is an emotionally charged issue, but prosecutors who handle domestic violence cases often unfairly take sides in domestic disputes, protecting one alleged victim at the expense of another.  Many people are falsely accused of domestic violence offenses or simply find themselves caught up in events that have spun out of control.  A domestic argument can become a yelling match, and the yelling can become pushing and shoving, and within minutes the police can be at the door to make an arrest.  Even when the victim declines to press charges, prosecutors often pursue charges anyway.  Domestic violence cases require effective trial counsel, and there are almost always compelling defenses that establish that a prosecutor is taking sides in a case involving poor judgment by both the alleged perpetrator and the victim.
 
We won't judge you, and we will provide you the legal help that you need with compassion and dignity.  If you have been charged with a domestic violence offense, you face the stigma of being labeled by the public and police as a violent criminal. You need an effective and aggressive legal defense team, and we are ready to help you with a defense designed to protect your future.  We will thoroughly investigate all of the facts and circumstances surrounding your case, including profiling the alleged victim, and will strive to obtain the best result possible.
