Warren Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
What should you do if you are charged with domestic violence in Warren, Michigan?
The days after an arrest can be stressful and confusing, and you may not know what to expect or what you should do next. In Macomb County, domestic violence allegations are taken very seriously, and the District Attorney aggressively seeks to prosecute.
To protect your freedom, your family, and your finances, you need specialized legal help – a domestic violence defense lawyer who will fight for your rights.
In other words, you need Blank Law, PC.
As the best domestic violence law firm in Michigan, we are here to discuss your case, answer your questions, and help you navigate your best path forward.
If you want to beat domestic violence charges in Warren, reach out today. The initial consultation is free.
DON’T Talk to the Police
Although the police will try to pressure you to talk, NEVER answer their questions without a criminal defense attorney present. No matter what they try to tell you – “to clear things up…tell your side of the story…help us help you” – anything that you say to incriminate yourself WILL be used against you.
Invoke your 5th Amendment right to remain silent.
DO Hire the Right Attorney
Neither an overburdened public defender who does not have the time to truly focus on your case nor an under-experienced lawyer who is not familiar with these kinds of cases will help you beat domestic assault charges in Warren.
You need a legal expert – a Warren, Michigan attorney who specializes in domestic violence defense and who has the time, energy, experience, and skill needed for a successful outcome.
Blank Law is your first and best resource. Contact us today for a FREE CONSULTATION.
DON’T Sabotage Your Defense
To you, this may seem to be just a great big misunderstanding – an argument that got too loud for the neighbors, self-defense, or maybe even false domestic violence allegations. You may think that this could be cleared up if you could just talk to the alleged victim and get them to explain what really happened.
But that would be a major mistake that could hurt your case.
First, under Michigan law, the Macomb County District attorney has sole discretion as to whether or not to file domestic violence charges. Even if the alleged victim changes their story or refuses to cooperate, you can still be prosecuted.
Second, if the Court has issued a “No-Contact” or protective order, you would be in violation of the law if you try to contact the alleged victim in any way – in person, by phone, or even electronically.
This means you could be arrested, charged, and prosecuted for yet another domestic violence-class crime, which would only give the DA more ammunition to use against you.
DO Be 100% Honest with Your Criminal Defense Attorney
Your attorney is there to protect your rights and provide you with the best defense possible. The only way they can be effective is if they know the facts of the case. There is no need to lie or keep things from your lawyer. They are there to defend you, not judge you morally.
To your domestic violence criminal defense attorney, it does not matter whether or not you did what you are accused of doing. You have the legal right to a presumption of innocence until you are proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law, the burden of that proof is on the prosecution, and innocence is not a prerequisite to your defense.
If there are mitigating factors – self-defense, abuse, mental illness, or it was an accident – then it is the duty of your lawyer to present these factors and help you realize the most favorable outcome.
Sometimes, the best way to resolve your situation is to negotiate a plea bargain agreement that also benefits you – reduced or dropped charges, a lighter sentence, or alternatives to prison.
