Expert Domestic Violence Lawyer in Phoenix
In Arizona, domestic violence is defined as any act that is a dangerous crime against a child or those in a domestic relationship, including:
- Individuals who are married or who were once married
- Individuals who have a child together
- Individuals who are expecting a child together
- Individuals who are blood related or in-laws
- Individuals who are in or were previously in a romantic or sexual relationship
- A child who lives with or has lived with the defendant and is related by blood to the defendant's former spouse, or to someone who lives with or who has lived with the defendant
Domestic violence charges understandably strike fear whenever they are brought against the accused. Penalties and consequences can be severe, and can include:
- Probation, jail time and a criminal record
- Mandatory counseling at your expense
- The loss of your right to bear arms
- Immigration and child custody challenges
- Severe penalties if you are charged with a crime in the future
Building a Strong Domestic Violence Defense
At The Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC, we take all steps necessary to provide a strong defense of your domestic violence charges. In a recent case, the alleged domestic violence victim claimed our client broke the terms of his probation by appearing at her home. We used the built-in GPS mechanism of our client's cell phone to prove his innocence.
We will interview witnesses, put the alleged victim on the stand and do what it takes to work to keep you out of jail, to keep you out of court-mandated counseling and to help you retain your full firearm, immigration, voting and child custody rights. For more information, contact certified criminal defense lawyer Howard Snader.
Often, the strongest defense against domestic violence charges is the reduction of charges to something like misdemeanor assault or disorderly conduct. Domestic violence charges actually trigger increased legal penalties. When we handle your case, we will work to 1) have your charges dismissed, 2) reduce your charges to assault, disorderly conduct or other charges that commonly carry significantly less penalties and rarely result in jail time, or 3) win your acquittal in court.
