Domestic violence is a serious crime that leaves victims contending with physical injuries and emotional trauma. One survey found that 1.8 million adults in Louisiana have experienced intimate partner violence, and about 250,000 individuals experienced assault in the past year.
Under state law, domestic abuse is the intentional use of force or violence committed against a family member or someone in the household. A conviction can lead to heavy fines and confinement in jail. While this offense carries serious penalties, there are effective defense strategies that can cast doubt on the accusations and potentially lead to dropped or reduced charges.
If you are facing accusations that you harmed an intimate partner or member of the household, your top priority should be to hire a domestic violence defense lawyer. With legal support, your attorney can explore whether the alleged incident occurred and what circumstances led up to the alleged attack.
Domestic violence charges can be complex due to the relationship between the victim and defendant. An attorney can explore domestic violence defense strategies, such as false accusations or self-defense.
By gathering new evidence and scrutinizing the current evidence, your domestic violence defense case could lead to reduced or dropped charges. The right defense strategy could prevent you from becoming part of the roughly 50,000 individuals who are currently confined to jail or prison in the state.
Being charged with domestic violence can be an unsettling experience that leaves you unsure what your future holds. When you secure representation from the trusted defense attorneys at Marino Law Firm, LLC, you can position yourself for a favorable outcome to your case that safeguards your freedom and future.
