We know that every case is unique, and we are ready to dedicate ourselves to understanding your background. In this way, we will be prepared to craft a robust defense that speaks to the decision-makers in your case.

Understanding Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a serious accusation that involves harm or threats of harm between household members. In Warren County and beyond, it is often the case that an arrest follows a domestic violence call. Typically, males are more frequently arrested in disputes involving both genders.

We have found that alleged victims sometimes seek to reverse the consequences of an arrest soon afterward. Despite the enhanced rights afforded to victims by Ohio’s Marsy’s Law, prosecutors may not always consider the wishes of the alleged victims. This is where our attorneys step in. We work tirelessly to ensure that the voices of those involved are heard while recommending separate counsel for the alleged victim when necessary. Our lawyers, in turn, most often defend the accused.

Victim’s advocates, tied to the prosecutor’s office, may not align with the interests of the person seeking to assist their spouse or partner. We emphasize that individuals should not rely solely on these advocates to help either side navigate the complexities of the legal aftermath.

Our lawyers are not just well-regarded in legal circles; they have been recognized by their peers, selected for inclusion to the Super Lawyers list and hold 10.0 ratings on Avvo.
