Domestic Violence Defense: Protecting Your Rights and Future

Domestic violence accusations can have devastating legal and personal consequences, affecting family relationships, employment, and even freedom. A conviction may lead to severe penalties, including jail time, restraining orders, and loss of parental rights. JD Law Group, co-founded by Douglas B. Chanco and Joshua G. Schiffer, provides aggressive defense strategies to ensure that the rights of those accused of domestic violence are protected.

Understanding Domestic Violence Charges

Domestic violence charges typically involve allegations of physical abuse, threats, or emotional harm between individuals in a close relationship. These cases often stem from:

• False Accusations – Disputes during divorces or child custody battles can lead to fabricated claims.
• Misinterpretations – Arguments and heated exchanges may be misinterpreted as violent actions.
• Self-Defense Situations – In some cases, the accused acted in self-defense but was wrongfully charged.
• Lack of Evidence – Many domestic violence cases lack physical evidence and rely solely on statements.

Legal Consequences of a Domestic Violence Conviction

Being convicted of domestic violence can result in:

• Jail or Prison Time – Even first-time offenders may face incarceration.
• Restraining Orders – Court-imposed protective orders can limit contact with family members.
• Loss of Child Custody – Parental rights may be affected.
• Permanent Criminal Record – A conviction can impact employment and housing opportunities.
• Firearm Restrictions – Convicted individuals may lose their right to own firearms.

Defenses Against Domestic Violence Charges

JD Law Group builds strong defense strategies, including:

• Challenging False Allegations – Exposing inconsistencies in the accuser’s statements.
• Lack of Evidence – Questioning the credibility of accusations with no supporting proof.
• Self-Defense – Demonstrating that the accused acted to protect themselves from harm.
• Violation of Rights – Identifying procedural errors in the arrest or investigation.
