Getting Domestic Violence Charges Dropped
Often in the heat of an argument, a husband, wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend will call the cops because they do not know where else to in a domestic situation gone south.
What is started cannot be stopped
Calling the cops sets off a series of events that are no longer under your control or under the control of the party who made the call.
- An arrest will be made
- Bail will be set
- No-contact order may be issued
- You may not be able to return home
- Family, friends and employment may be affected
Dropping Charges is the DA’s Decision—Not Yours
Once the situation has calmed down, in nearly every case the prosecutor will refuse to drop the charges. This is to protect a battered spouse from being bullied into changing her story. The unfortunate result? Sometimes innocent people are arrested, jailed, and kept away from their families.
In several cases we have been successful in stopping charges from being filed, or getting charges dropped or reduced. This requires prompt intervention.
