Domestic Violence Representation: Fairfax County and New Haven County

Our practice in the areas of criminal law and family law, provide our skilled attorneys valuable insight into the often-shared connections in domestic violence cases. We know that some domestic abuse claims may be fabricated and your accuser must prove that the abuse is real. We are prepared to take action to ensure that your rights are protected against unfair accusations of:

• Spousal abuse
• Sexual assault

• Child sexual abuse
• Assault and battery
• Harassment

We understand how stress, anger, and revenge can result in twisting facts and false claims. As our client, we listen carefully to your concerns. We gather evidence and eyewitness testimony to determine the circumstances surrounding the accusations. We work with psychiatrists and psychologists to evaluate the mental status of your accuser, including evidence of drug or alcohol abuse, past allegations or attempts to issue restraining orders, and other relevant issues to the case.

Implications of a Domestic Abuse Conviction

Before you plead guilty to a domestic abuse charge, it is important to consider the legal implications if you are convicted. In addition to remaining on your record, a domestic abuse charge can jeopardize pursuing custody and visitation rights, or your ability to find employment that impacts the child and spousal support that you may ordered to provide.

Protecting Children's Rights

Domestic violence cases can be an emotionally volatile time for everyone in the family. Unfair attempts to issue protective orders against a parent can further complicate matters from a child's perspective. As a law firm dedicated to protecting the best interests of children in a family crisis, we also provide services as a guardian ad litem, so that their rights also have a voice.
