Criminal Domestic Violence

Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina

The Dick James Law Firm does not condone criminal domestic violence under any circumstances. We do believe in fighting for the right of the accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty when facing charges of criminal domestic violence in Greenville, South Carolina and surrounding areas.

What Is Criminal Domestic Violence?

Criminal domestic violence is defined as causing physical injury, or attempting to cause physical injury to another member of the household and creating fear of imminent danger. It is important to remember that some abuse may not technically fit this definition of a crime and in this case, it is important to seek help immediately. Also, criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature carries enhanced penalties due to the increased severity of injury to the victim.

In most cases of criminal domestic violence, the prosecution attempts to resolve charges or take the case to trial quickly. While a speedy trial is your right, you must also understand that you need an attorney that understands this type of case and can effectively represent you in an expedient manner.

The Best Defense

When defending our client against charges of criminal domestic violence, our goal is to reduce the level of disruption to the family, negative effects on the life of the accused and the amount of monetary damage that may result. We make sure your side is heard and your interests are protected both in and out of the court room.

Even the most reasonable and agreeable outcomes in a criminal domestic violence case have adverse effects on the family involved and the life and future employment opportunities for the accused. We fight hard to have the charges reduced, dismissed or to seek a plea agreement that involves deferred judgment and sentencing.

Representing Your Rights

Criminal domestic violence is a very serious crime and being accused of and charged with the commission of this type of crime can destroy the rest of your life and the lives of those you have been accused of harming.

Our criminal defense attorneys, serving Anderson, Spartanburg and Greenville, South Carolina, are dedicated to providing you with the thorough and confident legal protection you need when you are facing criminal charges of any kind.  If you have been arrested for criminal domestic violence or are facing any other criminal charges, please do not hesitate to contact the Dick James Law Firm as soon as possible.
