Domestic Violence Defense
DV Defense Attorney
In Washington State, abuse of domestic violence charges is becoming a serious problem. People from Bellingham to Tacoma, Olympia to Spokane come into our Seattle criminal defense law firm and tell our lawyers that they were upset when they called the police-and did not actually have a reasonable fear of injury. They now want to see the domestic violence charges against their husbands, wives, or other household members dropped, but the police refuse.
Consequences of Domestic Violence Charges
A few moments of confusion and stress, and angry phone call to police from a member of your household, and your life may be changed forever. Domestic violence, which can be added to charges of any kind, may mean you have to leave your home, limit your access to your children, make it difficult to rent an apartment, cause you to lose your right to carry a firearm for life, and may make it difficult to get a job.
