How We Defend Domestic Violence Cases
Challenge The Evidence
We scrutinize police reports, medical records, and witness statements for inconsistencies, bias, or procedural errors that can weaken the prosecution's case.
Witness Credibility
Many domestic violence cases hinge on witness testimony. We rigorously cross-examine accusers and present evidence that undermines credibility.
Self-Defense Claims
If you acted in self-defense or defense of others, Georgia law may provide a complete legal justification. We build the evidence to support your claim.
False Allegations
False accusations happen — often in contentious divorces or custody disputes. We uncover motives, inconsistencies, and evidence of fabrication.
Motion To Suppress
If your rights were violated during the arrest or investigation, we file motions to suppress evidence and potentially get the entire case dismissed.
Diversion Programs
For eligible first-time offenders, we explore pre-trial diversion, anger management programs, or alternative sentencing that can lead to dismissal.
Types Of Domestic Violence Charges We Handle
Simple Battery — Family Violence
This is the most common domestic violence charge in Georgia. It involves intentionally making physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with a family or household member. Even a minor push can result in this charge. We fight to get these cases reduced or dismissed, especially when the alleged victim is uncooperative or the evidence is weak.
Aggravated Assault — Family Violence
A felony charge involving an assault with a deadly weapon or with intent to commit a felony. These cases carry serious prison time and require an experienced defense to navigate the complexities of weapon evidence and intent requirements.
Stalking & Criminal Trespass
Stalking charges often arise from repeated contact that the alleged victim considers harassing or threatening. We examine intent, communication context, and the underlying relationship dynamics to build a strong defense.
Protective Order Violations
Violating a Temporary Protective Order (TPO) is a criminal offense that can result in immediate arrest. Even accidental or indirect contact can be charged. We defend against these allegations and work to modify or dissolve unjust protective orders.
Know Your Legal Rights
Right To Remain Silent
You have the constitutional right to remain silent. Do not make statements to law enforcement or prosecutors without your attorney present.
Right To Legal Representation
You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, a public defender will be appointed. However, private counsel provides more dedicated defense resources.
Right To A Speedy Trial
You have the right to a trial within a reasonable time. We may exercise this right to pressure the prosecution or gain strategic advantage.
Right To Challenge Evidence
You have the right to review and challenge the evidence against you, including police reports, witness statements, and forensic evidence.
Common Questions
What counts as domestic violence in Georgia?
Under Georgia law, family violence includes assault, battery, stalking, criminal trespass, and any offense that causes physical harm or fear between family or household members — including spouses, ex-spouses, parents, children, co-parents, and romantic partners.
Can I get a domestic violence charge dismissed?
Yes, it's possible — but it requires a strong defense strategy. Dismissal can result from lack of evidence, witness credibility issues, procedural errors, or successfully demonstrating that the allegations are false. An experienced attorney can identify the best path to dismissal.
What is a Temporary Protective Order (TPO)?
A TPO is a court order that restricts contact between the alleged victim and the accused. Violating a TPO can result in immediate arrest. We can oppose the issuance of a TPO and fight against its terms at a full hearing.
Will a domestic violence conviction affect my gun rights?
Yes. Federal law prohibits anyone convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor from owning or possessing firearms. This is a lifetime ban that cannot be reversed. A skilled defense can help avoid this serious consequence.
What should I do immediately after being arrested?
Remain silent and do not discuss the case with anyone except your attorney. Do not contact the alleged victim — even if they reach out to you. Contact our office immediately so we can begin working on your defense before your first court appearance.
