| Domestic Violence Facts | |
| Domestic violence (DV) cases are viewed as very serious charges and are more aggressively prosecuted today than ever before. Police and prosecutors receive heavy funding from special interest groups devoted to the cause of domestic violence. If you have been arrested for domestic violence, it is critical that you hire an experienced lawyer who can immediately investigate, negotiate and fight to keep you out of jail and free from conviction. Domestic violence cases often involve a temporary restraining order (TRO) that forbids the defendant from returning to his or her home for a set period of time, presumably to ensure the safety of the victim. John Hill & Associates understands that this means the defendant is prevented from often obtaining his clothes for work, food and other important personal possessions, including money. | |
| John Hill & Associates Will Help You By: | |
| 1 | Immediately contacting the investigating officer in the police department to make sure they have all the facts before forwarding the case to the District Attorney. |
| 2 | Arguing for lower bail. |
| 3 | Hiring a private investigator to interview your spouse or domestic partner and any witnesses to the incident. |
| 4 | Interview your spouse or domestic partner personally at the earliest opportunity. Often, the spouse or domestic partner will have provided false statements or exaggerated the incident. Your lawyer will work quickly to provide sworn statements of your spouse or domestic partner and witnesses to the District Attorney before a decision is made to file a criminal case. In many instances, the prosecutor will choose to defer filing of charges until a more thorough investigation is complete. Ultimately, it is possible that no case will be issued at all. |
| 5 | Presenting all legal defenses in your case. |
| 6 | Aggressively negotiating your case to obtain a reduced charge. |
| 7 | Providing alternative sentencing to the District Attorney and Judge to keep you out of jail. Alternative sentencing can include anger management courses, drug and or alcohol treatment and community service. |
