Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding your rights in domestic violence cases.
What qualifies as domestic violence?
Domestic violence includes physical harm, threats, harassment, or other abusive behavior between spouses, partners, family members, or people living in the same household.
What happens after a domestic violence arrest?
You may be subject to a restraining order, removed from your home, and prohibited from contacting the alleged victim — even before a conviction. Immediate legal action is critical.
Can the alleged victim drop the charges?
No. Once charges are filed, only the prosecutor can choose to dismiss the case. The alleged victim’s wishes may influence that decision, but they do not control it.
How can I defend myself against a false accusation?
We thoroughly investigate the relationship history, police conduct, and available evidence — including texts, emails, or witness testimony — to expose inconsistencies or motives for false claims.
