As with any type of criminal charge, you have the right to defend against your charges, and you have the right to have defense representation. Because Connecticut courts and law enforcement take domestic violence allegations so seriously, you can expect they will do anything possible to obtain a conviction, protective orders, and treatment orders in your case. However, there are often ways to challenge the prosecutor’s evidence against you. The right defense attorney can evaluate the allegations and evidence against you and determine the best defense strategy for your case.
