Have You Been the Victim of Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence charges are a common occurrence in Maryland and around the country. Despite being common, domestic violence charges are a very serious matter. Domestic violence can tear a family apart, and allegations of domestic assault can ruin a person's reputation and lead to criminal charges of assault being filed.
Have You Been Accused of Domestic Violence?
Although domestic violence is prevalent, not every allegation of abuse is true. Often when an argument gets out of hand, the situation can become distressing, emotional and raw, but that does not meet the definition of domestic violence in the state of Maryland. (Domestic violence is defined as: “an act that causes serious bodily harm or an act that places a person eligible for relief in fear of imminent serious bodily harm.”)
At the law office of Steven M. Cooper, Chartered, our defense attorneys represent people charged with domestic assault, whether falsely or because of actions they engaged in. Our goal is to provide you with the best defense possible. Contact our Silver Spring law office to talk with an experienced lawyer about your case.
Take prompt action. If your partner sought a protective order, there is a short window of time to prepare a defense before the protective order becomes permanent. If a protective order is granted against you, and you have been found by the court to be an abuser, you often could face felony or misdemeanor criminal charges as well for assault, sexual offenses or even rape.
If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is important to retain a rigorous and effective domestic violence defense attorney who can work to prevent:
- The loss of your right to enter your home or property
- The loss of your right to possess and handle firearms
- The loss of your right to custody and visitation with your children
- Criminal charges and, if guilty, jail time
