Arrested for
Domestic Violence
FAQ
What should I do immediately after a domestic violence arrest?
If you are arrested for domestic violence, it is critical to remain calm and refrain from
discussing the incident with anyone except your attorney. Should the officer issue a criminal
protective order or restraining order, comply strictly and avoid any form of contact with the
protected person to prevent further legal complications, including rearrest. This includes ignoring any attempts from the protected person to reach out, as responding can still violate the order. If no protective order is issued, avoid discussing the case with the other party or asking them to drop charges, as this may be interpreted by law enforcement as witness tampering. Contact the Law Offices of Ty Martinez immediately to ensure your rights are protected from the outset.
What defense strategies can be used in domestic violence cases?
We examine multiple defense strategies tailored to the unique facts of your case, including claims of self-defense, false accusations, and insufficient evidence. Our team works diligently to identify and implement the most effective defense strategy for your situation.
How confidential is the information I share with my attorney?
At the Law Offices of Ty Martinez, all communications between you and your attorney are protected by attorney-client privilege. This ensures that all details of your case and defense strategy remain strictly confidential, allowing you to discuss your situation with complete confidence.
How can your firm help me in a domestic violence case?
Our firm provides an aggressive and thorough defense, and has an excellent trial record in domestic violence cases. We do this by challenging the evidence presented, negotiating with prosecutors, and representing your interests in court. We are committed to ensuring that your rights are upheld throughout the legal process, striving for the most favorable outcome in your case.
Can charges be dropped if the accuser recants their statement?
While the accuser’s recantation may influence the case, it does not guarantee that charges will be dropped. Prosecutors can proceed based on other available evidence. The District Attorney's office holds the authority to pursue or dismiss charges, not the accuser. Our firm has extensive experience navigating these sensitive situations, aiming to negotiate a reduction of charges or case dismissal whenever possible.
What are the potential consequences of a domestic violence conviction?
A conviction for domestic violence can lead to severe consequences, including incarceration, significant fines, the issuance of restraining orders, loss of child custody rights, and a permanent criminal record. At the Law Offices of Ty Martinez, our attorneys work tirelessly to mitigate these risks, employing strategic defense methods to protect your future and reputation.
