Defending Domestic Violence Charges

A domestic violence defense attorney reviews the evidence against his client.  He is alert for holes in the prosecution case which may provide grounds for dismissal.  If there has been a confession, he examines it to see if the client's constitutional rights were violated and if so the confession is inadmissible in court.  When it is to the client's advantage, the attorney looks for ways to reduce the charges and penalties.  In court, the attorney objects to improper and prejudicial evidence offered by the government and closely questions government witnesses.  He then presents his client's case persuasively to the court and jury to win acquittal.
