Charleston Criminal Defense Lawyer
Aggressive Defense of Criminal Domestic Violence Charges (CDV)
The state of South Carolina has one of the highest rates of criminal domestic violence in the United States. As a result, prosecutors in South Carolina take domestic violence seriously and vigorously prosecute these cases. If you have been charged with criminal domestic violence (CDV), you want an attorney who fully understands the law and who has successfully helped others who faced similar prosecutions.
Aside from substantial fines, jail time and a record, what other consequences arise from a domestic violence conviction? You loose your right to possess a firearm, may be barred from adopting and may be subject to unfair social stigmatism that you are a chronic abuser of your spouse or significant other.
It is important to understand that just because you have an argument or slam a door you have not commited domestic violence! Often our court or system pressures a person accused of domestic violence into pleading. While this may be appropriate more often it is not. Let us help you assess your options. Don't be pressured into taking a plea and making a decision that will significantly impact your future! Give us a chance to help you. Call our office if you think you need a CDV Attorney!
