Defenses do exists against allegations of domestic violence. When police officers are called to a home on a domestic disturbance call, they seldom arrest the person who called the police. Typically, officers arrest the boyfriend, husband, or "ex" who is alleged to have started an argument or fight in the first place.
When handling such serious allegations, law enforcement officials sometimes make a judgment call based on very little evidence. Make sure you retain a lawyer who thoroughly investigates every step law enforcement took before they made the arrest. The attorneys at our law firm protect the rights of the accused in a variety of domestic violence cases, involving:
- Child abuse
- Spousal abuse
- Child abduction
