Aggressive Defense Against Serious Domestic Violence Charges

Domestic violence charges can arise from allegations of harm or even threats made against an intimate partner or household member. Accusations may involve spouses, domestic partners, parents, stepparents, roommates, or anyone sharing a residence.

Examples of acts that can lead to domestic violence charges include:

• Physical harm or threats of harm
• Criminal harassment, including threatening letters or phone calls
• Stalking
• Kidnapping
• Pushing, hitting, slapping, choking, kicking or biting
• Sexual assault and rape
• Sexual battery
• Statutory rape

Our legal team is dedicated to mounting a vigorous defense against these charges, striving for case dismissals, acquittals, or favorable plea agreements.

We understand the distress and uncertainty that come with being charged with domestic violence. With your best interests at heart, we guide you through the legal process and advise you on steps to protect yourself. Our goal is to help you avoid the most serious consequences, which may include:

• Prison time
• Permanent restraining orders
