Domestic Violence Charges in Minneapolis

Domestic violence refers to any violence or abuse that occurs between family members, people who live together, or those in a romantic relationship. Many domestic violence cases involve actual physical assault but emotional abuse, violent threats or intimidation are also domestic violence crimes. If you have been accused of domestic violence, contact a Minneapolis criminal defense lawyer right away. Police take such actions very seriously and will not be lenient in their treatment of you. Such situations require a precise address and a qualified legal professional is your most valuable ally. Do not discuss your case with police until your attorney is present as you may make comments which can be misconstrued and used against you.

Domestic violence charges can be especially destructive if you are involved in a custody dispute. It is not uncommon for these two situations to go hand in hand and many charges have been based on false accusation by one party who is seeking to discredit the other. This can have a significant impact on the outcome of your custody case so do not wait to seek legal help. You may even have an Order for Protection issues against you, which may prevent you from accessing your own home and make it incredibly hard, if not impossible, to see your children. Violating the order will only aggravate your legal situation so the best thing to do is contact an attorney for help.
