New York, Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers

When passions run high, sometimes things get out of hand. What led to a domestic violence charge may have been an isolated incident. In fact, the so-called "violence" may have been self-defense. However, the law doesn't always see it that way. In the eyes of the law, you are alleged to have committed assault, menacing with a weapon, or criminal contempt, which are serious charges with very real consequences. In fact, with the "must arrest" domestic violence policy of all local police departments, you have probably already experienced a taste of how the criminal justice system treats even those who are presumed innocent.

At the Brill Legal Group, criminal defense is all we do, including defending those accused of domestic violence and wrongfully served a restraining order or temporary order of protection. We're not here to judge you; we're here to help. We are committed to helping our clients stay out of jail and minimizing other criminal penalties.

Effectively Challenging the Prosecutors' Case

Both the Nassau County and Suffolk County D.A.'s office -- as well as those throughout New York City -- have Assistant D.A.'s assigned exclusively to domestic and family violence cases. Their main interest is not to provide help for you and your family; it is to convict you.

Our domestic violence defense lawyer is a former Nassau County Assistant District Attorney who knows how these types of cases are handled from a prosecutor's standpoint. He also knows how to prepare and develop a strong and compelling criminal defense.

Providing Personal Representation and Assistance

At the Brill Legal Group, we strive to not only defend you against the charges you face, but also provide you with a level of personal assistance that many law firms frankly don't concern themselves with. If you would prefer, we'll help you arrange for counseling, anger management classes and domestic violence programs that will not only be beneficial to your well-being, but will help in arranging reduced sentencing and favorable plea bargain agreements.

Taking Your Case to Trial

While many cases are settled without need for a trial, in some cases it makes sense to go to trial. We often find that the heat of the moment causes accusers to lie or exaggerate about the incident in question. A trial will bring out the facts, and those facts can, and often do, result in a verdict of not guilty.
