Protecting Your Rights Against Domestic Violence Charges in Tucson
Domestic violence charges can impact every part of your life. Not only could you face jail time and high fines, but you could also be restricted from seeing your children or lose a professional license. Property owners can refuse to let you rent an apartment or house. And you may never be allowed to own a firearm.
When the stakes are this high, it is important to know your rights and to do everything you can to protect yourself.
At The Law Office of Arlene Debra Leoni, P.L.L.C., I have over 10 years of experience fighting for my clients in criminal negotiations and trials. I will explain the consequences you could face for conviction and help you protect your rights in Southern Arizona.
Defending You Against Domestic Violence Charges
Police and prosecutors do not want to be seen as "soft" on domestic violence issues. Unfortunately, this often leads to innocent people suffering or paying for actions that shouldn't have been charged as a crime. As a former prosecutor, I know how the other side will approach these cases. Depending upon the facts of your case, you may have a valid legal defense to the charges against you. The facts and circumstances surrounding the charges are critical to evaluate your defense
Domestic violence is a type of assault that is based on the relationship between the accused and the accuser and is not limited to just your current spouse. Accusations of domestic violence can come from:
- A spouse or former spouse.
- Other individuals you share a residence with.
- Someone you have lived with in the past.
As your lawyer, my job is not only to present a strong defense, it is also to establish that the prosecutor cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that you are guilty of domestic violence. I will evaluate the state's evidence, thoroughly investigate the circumstances related to your arrest and search out weaknesses in the state's case.
I will protect your rights in plea negotiations and at trial.
