Domestic violence is a serious charge, and while many resources are available for survivors, such as the Coordinated Victims Assistance Center, cases continue to rise. However, alongside genuine cases, there are also false accusations, especially with an increase in claims since the MeToo movement. If you are falsely accused of domestic violence, seeking legal help immediately is crucial. The attorneys at Piotrowski Law have extensive experience defending against such charges.

The most common defense for domestic violence cases is self-defense. If you can prove that you were acting in self-defense, you may be able to have the charges against you dropped. In order to prove self-defense, you must show that:

• You were not the initial aggressor.
• You had a reasonable fear of imminent harm.
• The force you used was necessary and proportional to the threat.

Another common defense for domestic violence charges is that the accusations against you are false. In order for this defense to be successful, you must be able to prove that:

• The accuser made the allegations knowing they were false.
• The accuser had a motive for making the false allegations.
• You have evidence to back up your defense.

Another common defense for domestic violence cases is lack of evidence. In order for this defense to be successful, you must be able to show that:

• There is no physical evidence linking you to the crime.
• There is no eyewitness testimony connecting you to the crime.
• The accuser has a history of making false allegations.

A domestic violence conviction can have severe legal and social consequences, such as job loss and restrictions on activities or places. A domestic violence attorney can help you understand these potential impacts and explore legal options. An experienced lawyer, well-versed in domestic violence laws and the court system, is crucial to protecting your rights and guiding you through the legal process.

Chad is an excellent attorney. As a working parent I was not able to be at court to support my daughter while going through criminal charges. Chad was there every single time supporting my daughter by keeping her informed, by contacting her previous attorneys from out of State to reduce her case from criminal to civil. There are no words I can ever express to convey my gratitude.

Chad was fantastic. I had a felony case, and as my first offense, I was scared and confused on the entire process. I am glad I choose Chad to represent me, after speaking with so many lawyers. He was honest and detailed from the beginning. He got my case dismissed.
