Can Domestic Violence Charges Be Dropped?
Over our two-decade history specialising in domestic violence defence, we have achieved consistent success in both negotiating the early dismissal of domestic violence charges with the prosecution and providing robust courtroom defence against such charges.
Obtaining an early dismissal not only saves you from expensive legal fees but also reduces stress. We accomplish this by identifying your strongest defences and weaknesses in the police evidence with our proven strategies that we have developed over countless cases.
If the charges are not dropped, we focus on secure ing a ‘not guilty’ verdict in court. The court must determine, following the presentation of the prosecution’s evidence, that they have failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt for each element of the specific domestic violence charge. In certain cases, you may be eligible to apply to the court for the prosecution or police to cover your legal fees.
