  • Yes, absolutely. Domestic violence allegations can significantly impact family court proceedings, including child custody and visitation. Courts prioritize the safety and well-being of children, and an accusation or conviction can lead to supervised visitation, restricted custody, or even loss of parental rights. Having skilled legal representation is essential to protect your relationship with your children.

  • Unfortunately, false accusations of domestic violence can occur, often arising in contentious family disputes or divorce cases. Defending against false allegations requires a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, challenging witness credibility, and presenting a compelling case to the court. An experienced domestic violence defense attorney can meticulously examine the details of your situation and build a strong defense to clear your name.
