Frequently Asked Questions
Can the alleged victim drop domestic violence charges?
The victim doesn't control charges—prosecutors do. However, if the victim recants or refuses to cooperate, it significantly affects the case. We work with both sides to find resolutions.
Will I lose custody of my children?
Domestic violence allegations heavily impact custody. We fight to protect your parental rights and demonstrate that you're not a danger to your children.

You have the right to a hearing within 10 days. We prepare aggressive defenses, cross-examine witnesses, and present evidence to defeat restraining orders.
