Domestic Violence Charges Are Complex

Charges of family violence are complex, not only because of the unique laws involved, but because of the emotions and family matters often at play in these cases.

Legally, these cases are taken very seriously. Laws are in place to protect victims of domestic abuse. For that reason, these charges are rarely dropped, even if the alleged victim requests that they be. Furthermore, domestic violence is not actually the name of the charge. In most domestic abuse cases, the alleged abuser is charged with assault. It may be labeled as domestic violence assault. These charges may be accompanied by a restraining order, which comes with its own set of repercussions that must be addressed. A dedicated lawyer can help you protect your rights and address all facets of the domestic violence charge.

At The Law Office of Kelly F. Pittl in San Antonio, we are skilled at defending against these legally and emotionally complex criminal charges. Our goal is to help you overcome allegations of domestic violence so you can move forward with your life.

Defense Strategies In Domestic Assault Cases

Creating an effective defense strategy begins with us listening to your side of the story. What happened? Was there a misunderstanding? Was the violence mutual? Were you actually the victim? Have you been falsely accused? After carefully reviewing the case, we will create the defense strategy that is most appropriate for protecting your rights.

False allegations of domestic violence happen. They may be the result of one spouse trying to gain the upper hand in a divorce or child custody dispute. Whatever the case may be, the allegations must be taken seriously. While you may feel that everyone is taking the alleged victim's side, you are still innocent until proven guilty. We are prepared to fight for you in trial if that is what it takes to maintain your innocence and avoid serious penalties.
