FREE CONSULTATIONContact us today for your free consultation from our Kent County, Allegan County, Muskegon County, Ottawa County, & All of Michigan domestic violence defense law firm, with attorneys who understand their clients needs. For many domestic violence situations, there are no witnesses other than the two individuals involved in the incident. For the accused to be charged, there does not need to be any evidence of physical harm, and a simple complaint may be enough to press charges in some cases. An accuser's statement can be enough for authorities to make an arrest.
An experienced domestic violence lawyer understands that preparing an effective defense depends upon independently gathering factual and full information which can be used to challenge the prosecution's evidence, witnesses, and procedures. Often, cases of domestic violence can be exaggerated or used by alleged victims to gain some type of advantage on the accused, whether it be revenge or rights in a custody battle. Other times, the alleged victim may have initiated aggressive actions that forced the other individual to respond in a forceful and defensive way. In many cases, a good defense attorney can make it very difficult for prosecutors to convict someone for domestic assault.
Prosecutors must be able to prove: 1) There was a domestic relationship; 2) An act of verbal, physical, or even emotional violence occurred; 3) The defendant was not acting in self-defense or to protect another individual; and 4) If verbal abuse is involved, they must prove the victim truly felt threatened. THERE IS NO ‘UNDO’ BUTTON FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. YOU NEED TO FIGHT YOUR CHARGES. Domestic violence charges do not go away easily. Even if the accuser later regrets making the accusation or tries to undo pressing charges, prosecutors will often proceed with prosecution. Depending upon the type of charge, a conviction may result in probation or jail time, anger management education, a permanent record of the conviction, and more. It may be possible to resolve your case without going to trial.
