Put our experience to work for you.
Three of our lawyers are former assistant district attorneys. We know Union County law enforcement and the criminal court system well. We offer free initial consultations in criminal cases.
From the moment of arrest, domestic violence is treated as a serious crime. If you do go to jail after your arrest, you cannot be held for more than 48 hours without seeing a judge. By calling a lawyer right away, you may be able to avoid any time in jail.
Is there a restraining order against you? A domestic violence charge can trigger an order of protection. It is important to have your attorney explain your side of the situation. An uncontested restraining order can affect your ability to go to your home or see your children.
Is the domestic violence charge related to a divorce? Unfortunately, false accusations do happen. If you feel the charges are related to a divorce or child custody issue, talk to an attorney who understands family law matters.
What are your options? A lawyer can explain the process and help you understand your options. Your defense attorney may be able to negotiate a plea for judgment or deferred prosecution. If the case is taken to trial, you can be assured that we have extensive trial experience.
