Domestic Violence Cases Can Be Very Serious
Family disputes happen; we all know that. Sometimes, extreme emotions that we share with those we love can turn into pretty severe disputes. As a matter of policy, the police have to make an arrest on every domestic violence call. The arrest and charges that ensue could seriously hinder your life and your career, even if the charges are based on a simple spousal argument that got a little too loud. You need to defend against these charges aggressively.

Take These Charges Seriously
When police respond to domestic disputes, they’re trained to make arrests on the allegations of just one individual, often when that individual does not even want their partner arrested. If you or a loved one has been arrested as a result of a domestic dispute, it’s important to know that the district attorney can still prosecute even if the complainant does not wish to press charges.
It’s also important to understand that in these cases, a full order of protection is almost always issued against the accused. This prevents the accused from speaking with the complainant completely and can even prevent the accused from returning to their home if it is shared with the complainant. In those situations, your attorney can request what’s called an access order, which allows you to enter the home with a police escort to retrieve a few personal belongings. Failing to obey the order of protection can lead to additional criminal charges being filed against you.
If you believe that you or a loved one may be a suspect in a domestic violence matter, it is imperative that you contact a skilled attorney as soon as possible. Having an attorney representing you during questioning by police can often make a huge difference in the strength of your case.
