Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence

Getting into an argument with your spouse or significant other could lead to criminal charges being brought against you. You should speak to a criminal defense lawyer if you are accused of a domestic violence related offense, such as:

  • Battery
  • Disorderly Conduct
  • Criminal Damage to Property
  • Substantial Battery
  • Aggravated Battery
  • Intimidation of a Victim
  • Any other domestic violence related offense

Cases involving domestic violence can be complicated, and the system is often very one-sided in favor of the alleged victim.  When police respond to a domestic violence call, they often will take one of the two people involved into custody. The attorneys at Schwitzer Simon, LLC are experienced in dealing with these types of cases.  We understand that not every argument between two loved ones should be charged as a criminal offense.  We also realize that sometimes an alleged victim is making certain allegations that are exaggerated, or completely untrue.

Domestic violence related offenses can have a lasting impact on the accused which go far beyond the courtroom.  Even if it was a one-time event that has never happened before, your spouse or significant other cannot decide to drop the charges.  The prosecutor is the only person who can make that decision.  And often times, they will refuse to dismiss the case, hindering you and your significant other from moving on.  That is why it is important that you hire an attorney who can advocate for you and tell the prosecutor your side of the story contact us for a free consultation.
