Domestic violence is not limited to physical abuse. It may involve:
Victims can include spouses, children, roommates, dating partners, and other household members. These accusations can lead to criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.
I’ve persuaded prosecutors to drop cases due to unreliable evidence and successfully convinced juries that my clients acted out of self-defense or accident—not intent to harm
Every case is different. Let’s build your defense based on facts, not assumptions.
Most domestic violence cases begin with an allegation—sometimes during a breakup or custody dispute. Once the police are involved, it’s out of the alleged victim’s hands. The case belongs to the state.

Dismissals can happen due to lack of evidence, inconsistent statements, or procedural errors. A skilled lawyer can expose weaknesses in the case and push for dismissal before trial.
These cases are usually heard in criminal, civil, or family court. Each has different goals—from punishment to protection or financial compensation.
Many are resolved with dismissals, plea deals, or conditional discharges. First-time offenders especially have options that avoid jail or a permanent criminal record.
