Domestic Assault
Protect Your Rights with an Experienced Virginia Defense Lawyer!
Too often innocent individuals are charged with Domestic Assault or Violence even when the evidence is very weak or non-existent. This happens because the police will arrest and charge you if there is any evidence of violence. After the charge is brought, prosecutors are usually unwilling to drop the case even when the alleged victim does not wish to proceed and does not want to see you found guilty.
Politics play a huge role in the prosecutor’s decisions. Prosecutors do not want to drop the charge and then find out that the alleged victim was later seriously hurt or even killed by the defendant. This is why you need the assistance of an experienced Virginia Lawyer who can separate the facts of the case from the politics. You need someone who knows how to discuss the case with the prosecutor, or, present the facts to a Judge in a way to have you found not guilty!
