Defense Strategies for Domestic Abuse Accusations
You know what is best for you and your family, and we can help you get the protection you need.
If domestic violence is an issue, we can:
- Defend you against charges of assault and battery of a family member
- Defend you at a protective order hearing against an unwarranted protective order
- Obtain a protective order, sometimes referred to as a restraining order, in order to keep your abuser away from you, your home, and/or your work
- Assist you with any related family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and visitation matters
Courts in Virginia take domestic violence very seriously, and law enforcement oftentimes must make arrests even though convictions may not be possible. If a protective order is filed against you, you may not be able to return home or see your children. The accusation of abuse can impact your divorce or custody dispute. Additionally, you could face criminal charges for domestic assault or for violating a protective order.
