What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic assault is the threat of bodily harm or inflicting injury, and can involve same-sex relationship abuse, or family members in the same household. The seriousness of the injury will depend on whether or not the abuser is charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense. We work hard to reduce domestic abuse charges, negotiate fair terms for probation and/or counseling when appropriate. If necessary, we also aggressively dispute charges and ask for dismissals.

Also, you should know that when the police arrive due to a domestic abuse call, a victim's recall of the incident or asking for charges to be dropped has no affect. The police take over from the moment they arrive on the scene. The arrest is up to them, and the charges are up to the state prosecutor. We understand how this affects clients and we know what the stakes are. Contact us, for representation by experienced domestic violence lawyers. At DiPaolo & Kellogg, we will make sure your rights are protected and your side of the story is told.
