Domestic Violence – Simple Assault

A domestic violence case or a simple assault case can carry severe penalties, and an experienced attorney is necessary to ensure that your rights are protected. Many times, people accused of domestic violence have never been in trouble with the law before. Arguments with loved ones can touch emotions deep within us… sometimes people snap and act irrationally and then find themselves charged with a crime that can carry stiff penalties.

At Andersen, Tate & Carr, our attorneys understand both sides of a domestic violence or simple assault case. One of our criminal defense attorneys, Pat McDonough, is a former prosecutor, so he has a unique insight into potential weaknesses in the case against you. Pat McDonough will do everything he can to find cracks in the prosecution’s case and defend your rights.

The nature of the relationship in a domestic violence case must be examined. If a couple is getting a divorce or if a couple is in a heated custody battle, these are extenuating circumstances that must be examined. People can act irrationally when fighting for their kids, and we will fight hard to make sure that our clients’ rights are protected.
