Fighting for Those Falsely Accused

Quite often, individuals are falsely accused of domestic violence. We have seen this occur in situations where one party is trying to manipulate the outcome of certain events, such as divorce proceedings or child custody disputes. If you have been wrongly accused of domestic violence, our legal team can help you defend your rights and reputation.

Our lawyers can help defend you in several ways, which may include:

• Establishing that you did not commit the act
• Discovering inconsistencies in the alleged victim’s story
• Demonstrating that you were not the initial aggressor, but acted in self-defense
• Establishing the alleged victim has manipulated the court system
