Domestic Violence
| Do not go to court alone. Have a qualified attorney with you. |
Domestic Violence cases carry serious consequences for individuals in the
state of Ohio. Domestic violence can be charged as a misdemeanor or can
be enhanced to a felony offense, due to prior convictions. Domestic
violence cases can also be charged as felonies based upon the nature of the
injuries the victim suffers, if any.
Serious consequences can arise as a result of a plea or conviction of
domestic violence. An individual could be sentenced to prison / jail,
probation / community control, court programs or fines.
R. Clayton Lopez, a Columbus criminal lawyer believes that individuals
need a responsible, aggressive defense to charges of domestic violence.
Domestic violence is an offense that is prosecuted zealously in the state of
Ohio. These cases receive special attention as there is local, state and
federal funding for the prosecution of domestic violence. The office is
dedicated to the protecting the rights of the accused. After a thorough
investigation by the firm, we will advise the client if we believe it is in their
interest to enter a plea or proceed to trial.
In the past, police officers would often discuss the situation with the
individuals involved and try to resolve the issue without involving the court
system. However, times have changed. If the police are called out on a
domestic violence run, it is assured that a husband, wife, boyfriend or
girlfriend will be arrested.
Police officers are very busy individuals. Often, they will not take the time to
do a thorough investigation of the situation and will arrest the individual that
does not have visible injuries, although that person may not have been the
aggressor.
If you are charged with domestic violence, you should have a dedicated and
aggressive attorney to give you the best representation possible.
