Downstate Illinois Domestic Battery Attorneys
When life is stressful, tempers can flare. When things get out of control and police are called in, one thing is inevitable: Somebody will be arrested, even if charges aren't pressed. That is only the beginning, because a charge of domestic battery can affect your visitation rights. It can sour relationships with family and friends. It can put your job in jeopardy and, if you're convicted, make it impossible for you to get a gun license. It can put you in jail. If an Order of Protection or restraining order is placed against you, it can even keep you from entering your own home.
If you've been arrested for domestic violence, you need an experienced lawyer immediately. Call the Edwardsville law office of Polinske & Associates at 618-505-4213 (877-632-3089 toll-free). We are experienced criminal law attorneys with a proven track record of helping those charged with domestic assault.
False Accusations
Unfortunately, a false accusation of domestic battery is sometimes used as a weapon of revenge. It is critical to have an attorney on your side who can present your side of the story to the judge or jury, thereby clearing your name and your record. As your lawyers, we will seek evidence, look for corroboration and work to protect you from wrongful charges.
If You Have Been Accused, You Need to Act Quickly
Domestic battery is a Class A misdemeanor that carries fines up to $2,500 and up to one year in jail. If you are convicted of aggravated domestic battery, you could be fined up to $25,000 and spend up to three years in jail. What's more, even if your spouse or significant other changes her (or his) mind or chooses not to press charges, the state may still proceed with prosecution. You can't afford to wait to see what will happen. Call us and start protecting your rights.
