Allegations of Battery Domestic Violence often carry significant collateral consequences beyond the criminal case, including protection orders, custody complications, and employment issues. We approach these matters with both strategic defense work and sensitivity to family dynamics.
Our team investigates the incident, reviews medical and police reports, and interviews witnesses and experts to test the credibility of allegations. We also coordinate with family law attorneys when necessary to minimize collateral harm.
Defense priorities
- • Challenge timing and credibility of statements
- • Represent clients at protection order hearings
- • Seek reduced charges, diversion, or dismissal where appropriate
Frequently asked questions
- Will a protection order be issued automatically? Temporary orders can be entered quickly; we can represent you at hearings to contest or modify those orders.
- Can I see my children? Custody and visitation may be affected; we coordinate with family law counsel to protect parental rights where possible.
Avoid contacting alleged victims and preserve any relevant messages or documentation. Contact counsel immediately so we can act promptly and effectively.
