As a criminal defense lawyer, my job is to do everything possible to help people charged with domestic violence get the vigorous and effective legal defense they are entitled to. Whenever possible, I will strive to have your case thrown out for lack of evidence. If your case cannot be dismissed, I will do everything I can to have your charges or possible penalties reduced to a non-violent crime. In many cases, there may be domestic violence counseling programs that are available, instead of jail time. When a court trial is necessary to prove your innocence, I use my six years of trial experience to fight for your acquittal.
