Defending Against Charges of Domestic Violence

Dealing with serious criminal charges such as domestic violence offenses is a frightening experience. Being arrested by police and booked at the police station is a nerve-wracking and disturbing set of circumstances, but is nothing compared to the nightmare of a court case related to domestic violence charges. There are few types of offenses that can damage one's reputation as thoroughly. Your employer, co-workers, neighbors and friends may consider that you are guilty and treat you accordingly. 

It is absolutely critical that you get legal representation from a Glendale domestic violence defense lawyer if you want to defend yourself from the serious repercussions of a conviction on such a charge. At the Knowles Law Firm, the legal team is a dedicated group of criminal defense lawyers with powerful defense skills to fight for the rights of clients charged with all kinds of domestic violence charges, including harassment, assault, stalking, child abuse, spousal abuse, as well as against restraining order violations and charges of threatening and intimidating.

The penalties for domestic violence vary depending upon the specific type of offense, but many are felonies and have punishments that include time spent in state prison. Other offenses are misdemeanors and you will face fines, court-ordered treatment programs and possible jail time. If you have an earlier conviction on your criminal record, you will face enhanced penalties for some types of domestic violence charges. At the Knowles Law Firm, the legal team will fight relentlessly on behalf of any client charged with a serious felony or misdemeanor domestic violence offense. The firm is made up of skilled, aggressive and determined defense lawyers that know how to fight in court. In many cases, with the right actions taken quickly on behalf of the client, the charges are dismissed prior to going to court at all.  In other cases, it may be necessary to go to court or negotiate for alternative sentencing or reduced charges, depending on the circumstances of the case.

As each case has its own individual circumstances and evidence, it is vital to get the case reviewed and evaluated by a skilled domestic violence defense lawyer from the firm as quickly after the arrest as possible. This gives the legal team the opportunity to initiate the defense actions on your behalf at once. It is strongly advised that you do not discuss your case with any law enforcement officer or other individual without first getting legal representation to advise you how to proceed. Many individuals while nervous and fearful say things that later cause them trouble in court. Everything you say and do will be carefully observed and noted by law enforcement and definitely will be used against you in court.
