Domestic Violence

Make it Go Away

A charge of domestic violence can be devastating to everyone involved. Our law office has represented many clients charged with domestic violence and have discovered several similarities in these cases. Most often, our clients want to simply make the whole situation go away. They want their spouse to drop the charges for domestic violence. Quite often a one-time blow-up, blew up and out of proportion. The spouse who called the police may wish they never made the call. The spouse who now has a restraining order and can’t see the kids, may want to move back home. When that is the case, our law office has gotten good results for everyone involved. Our domestic violence lawyer has been able to remove the restraining order and help the family stay together.

But it isn’t that simple…

Sometimes there are real injuries, a real pattern of abuse, and a district attorney who will prosecute the case regardless of whether or not the injured spouse wishes to press charges or drop the charges for domestic violence. In those instances, a skilled criminal defense attorney or domestic violence lawyer that has a good relationship with the judges, and familiarity with the court, can often work out an acceptable arrangement. Anger management or drug counseling may be part of the solution if drugs or alcohol were involved in the domestic violence incident. Our law firm has a significant amount of experience with a range of domestic violence cases – from one time fights – to systematic abuse.
