CRIMINAL OFFENSES
Virginia has mandatory arrest provisions for domestic disturbances. If police officers are called to the scene of a domestic dispute, someone will be arrested. This arrest is based upon the split-second evaluation of police officers, who generally have very limited knowledge of the entire situation, and therefore frequently make mistakes. Many domestic violence allegations are complete fabrications that are made out of spite or retaliation by the alleged victim. In our experience, we have found that people make false allegations of domestic abuse in an attempt to gain the upper hand in a child custody or divorce dispute. When you hire us, we will fully investigate every aspect of your case, and work to expose any false allegations. Our goal is always to beat the charges against you and to have any restraining orders removed as quickly as possible.

The State of Virginia has taken a strong position on family violence, resulting in overzealous prosecution of these claims. Even people who are clearly not guilty are frequently charged and prosecuted — often against the wishes of the alleged victim.
Because the government takes such an aggressive approach to prosecuting these cases, it is particularly important to work with an experienced defense lawyer.
Many domestic violence cases are resolved through plea bargaining, but sometimes accepting a plea bargain is not the best option. When necessary, our experience allows us to effectively present cases to judges and juries.
A non-U.S. citizen convicted of domestic violence could be deported.
