What happens after I am accused of domestic abuse?
In many cases, officers must make an arrest when they respond to a call involving claims of domestic abuse. You may be taken into custody, and the court can issue temporary orders restricting contact with the person who made the accusation. Even before your case is resolved, you may face changes in where you can live and who you can see. My job is to review the charges, explain the conditions you are under, and start looking for ways to protect your rights and your future.
Can I talk to the person who accused me?
If there is a no contact order in place, you must follow it, even if the other person wants to communicate. Violating court orders can lead to new criminal charges and worsen your situation. If changes are needed to those orders, I can ask the court to review them and argue for more reasonable conditions. It is important to let me handle those requests so you do not put yourself at further risk.
Why is it important to get a lawyer quickly in domestic abuse cases?
Early representation can make a significant difference. There may be witnesses to contact, messages or records to preserve, and immediate decisions to make about court orders and release conditions. The sooner I am involved, the sooner I can start protecting your interests, helping you avoid missteps, and building a strategy that fits your situation.
