Lynnwood Domestic Violence Attorney
Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges
When you are charged with domestic violence, the best move you can make is to contact me, Jonathan, at my law firm for immediate help. The
penalties for conviction can be harsh and life changing. You don't want to risk your rights and future to an attorney who is inexperienced in the practice of
criminal law or unproven in defending against domestic violence charges. Fortunately, these charges can, many times, be effectively defended.
If you are charged with assault, I work diligently to make the prosecutor prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Frequently, actions taken in an alleged domestic violence case were done in self-defense. Just as commonly, there was no actual assault. Jealously, anger in divorce proceedings and many other causes can bring about false accusations of domestic violence.
Accusations of harassment may be aggressively defended as statements made can be interpreted in many ways. I strive to make the prosecutor prove any comment made was factually a threat and that the victim had reason to think that the threat would be acted on. No matter the charges you face or the circumstances of your case, using a determined Lynwood criminal defense attorney will greatly improve your chances of success.
Domestic Violence Defense in Lynwood
If a person knowingly and maliciously destroys the property of another, this constitutes a crime. One of the most prominent defenses to this charge is to show that the property in question was yours and any destruction of it was not, therefore, illegal. At times, it can be shown that there was damage to the property before the incident. There may be other effective defenses to the crime of malicious mischief which can be reviewed when you visit my offices.
Sometimes, with aggressive action on my part, the charges against you can be dropped. If I am able to work on your case from the start, I may be able to prevent a no-contact order from being imposed on you. I work hard to keep you out of jail and to get your life back to normal as quickly as possible.
