Domestic Violence
Aggressive representation in Hampton Roads for domestic violence charges
Domestic violence crimes can range from physical to sexual abuse of members of the family or shared household. Emotions typically run high in these cases. Hiring an attorney can be a key step in securing alternative disposition such as first offender program or dropping of charges. Depending on the offense, a domestic violence conviction can carry significant jail time. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can be the difference between keeping and losing your freedom. Often times allegations of domestic violence are tied in with an ongoing divorce action, and the outcome of the criminal case can have a tremendous effect on the divorce case. For this reason, you need an attorney who will aggressively attack the allegations against you.
