Allegations of domestic violence are taken very seriously by the court, the police and the prosecutor. Accusations of domestic violence can lead automatically to an arrest and the judge may also issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the alleged perpetrator from contacting the alleged victim.

We will do whatever is necessary to defend you against these charges.

The penalties associated with a conviction for domestic can be extremely serious. You may face significant jail time and have to pay a large fine.
