Any criminal charge can alter a person’s life before they are even charged, much less found guilty. However, the consequences may be significantly worse if a person is accused of domestic abuse. Read on for guidance on what to do if you find yourself in this circumstance and then contact Chambers Law Firm at 714-760-4088 for a free legal consultation.
Consult a domestic abuse lawyer
The biggest error people make is waiting too long to get in touch with a domestic violence attorney. Because they don’t think there’s a chance they’ll be found guilty, they frequently don’t want to incur the expense. In other situations, people can believe that retaining legal counsel makes them appear guilty. The truth is that your prospects will be greater the sooner you retain legal counsel.
If you haven’t already been charged with anything, a domestic violence lawyer could be able to stop the charges from being brought against you. If you have been charged, your defense is likely to be stronger the sooner your attorney can begin building it.
Tell your lawyer the truth
Only if we are fully informed about your situation will we be able to represent you to the best of our abilities. We are aware that these accusations are intricate, and that some of the circumstances of your case may make you feel humiliated. Having said that, if we have all the information, your domestic violence lawyer will be far more successful.
Select the best course of action
We’ll make sure you have the information you need to decide whether to plead your case out or go to court after your domestic violence lawyer knows the facts of your case. If there is a lot of evidence against you, admitting guilt can be your best course of action. However, if the evidence against you is thin, we might advise that you proceed to trial. One thing to constantly keep in mind is that you have a choice. We’ll only offer you our finest guidance.
Adhere to your attorney’s advice
We will work for you after you have made a decision and communicated it to your domestic violence attorney. If you’ve decided to enter a guilty plea, we’ll do everything in our power to secure the best plea agreement you’re entitled to. We will prepare the best defense if you decide to contest your charges in court.
