Stalking: A Domestic Violence Offense
Stalking is also a domestic violence offense. You do not need to be an abuser to be charged with domestic abuse; it is also a crime to prevent someone from getting medical care, calling law enforcement, or reporting abuse.
The odds are stacked against those who are facing domestic violence charges, and they need the help of an experienced attorney to fight serious allegations. A Department of Justice report reveals that domestic violence defendants are more likely to be convicted than non-domestic violence defendants. However, other studies reveal that about 2-7 percent of all domestic violence charges stem from false accusations.
As an attorney with more than two decades of experience, I’ve built my firm on the premise that all people facing criminal charges deserve aggressive, smart, and compassionate legal representation. I care about my client’s cases and devote the time and resources needed to help them through some of the most difficult times of their lives.
