One accusation. Consequences everywhere.
A family-violence finding follows you into custody, housing, employment, and firearm rights — long after the argument is forgotten. The first weeks decide most of these cases.
The early moves that matter.
Intervene before it hardens
Emergency protective orders, bond conditions, no-contact terms — we move immediately to make them livable, because violating one creates a second case worse than the first.
The evidence is rarely simple
These cases turn on recorded calls, photos, medical notes, and two versions of one night. We build the fuller record — witnesses, context, timelines — before the State locks its story.
Resolution with the record in mind
Dismissals, reductions, and dispositions that protect your record and rights are the goal. A former prosecutor knows which files the State does not want to try — and makes yours one.
