Sadly, some of our clients have had no choice but to protect themselves. One spouse started hitting them, and they were afraid for their lives, so they fought back. Then they were charged with domestic abuse.
We must prove that you were not the aggressor in this situation. That means you could not have done anything to provoke the attack, including threatening harm. If you did anything to incite t violence, it could be difficult to prove that you are innocent. If we cannot prove your innocence, we can discuss potential plea bargains with you to reduce the charges and the punishment.
