Domestic violence cases are also commonly handled by Attorney Rosenfeld. Domestic violence cases, unfortunately, are widespread. Police officers receive a lot of attention and scrutiny whenever investigating a domestic violence call and any time that the police respond to a potential domestic violence situation, they’re looking to make an arrest. If there are any injuries at all, the police officers, under state law, must make an arrest. It doesn’t matter whether or not a person wishes someone else to be arrested or not. If the police were called out to the scene of the alleged domestic violence incident, somebody is going to be arrested and have to post bail and receive a protective order against them.
Domestic violence cases can be filed either as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the severity of the alleged crime and the injuries. Domestic violence can be a man against a woman, but it can be filed as a woman against a man or against other cohabitants regardless of gender. If charges are filed, which they often are, it can result in people’s lives being turned upside down.
Domestic violence convictions can have lifelong repercussions and must be defended zealously.
There are many ways to defend a domestic violence case. Attorney Rosenfeld has had great success in handling domestic violence cases, resulting in situations where charges are never filed or charges are filed and then dismissed. Every case is different so no guarantees can be made, but oftentimes law enforcement officers don’t do a thorough investigation, don’t get all of the information and prosecutors are not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt what happened.
