Domestic violence also known as D/V cases are more aggressively prosecuted today than ever before because of heavy funding the police and prosecutors are receiving from special interest groups devoted to the cause of domestic violence.

In the past, the police would not arrest a man or a woman in a domestic dispute in the absence of obvious evidence of serious abuse. Now, police action at domestic violence calls is dictated by a strict agenda which requires police to arrest a husband or a wife or a boyfriend or a girlfriend, if one or the other has any visible injury upon them.

The police take very brief statements and with almost no real deliberation, decide that the injured person is the victim and the non-injured person is a suspected domestic abuser.

If you have been arrested for domestic violence, you must find an experienced attorney who will  investigate and interview you, you’re domestic partner and any children, relatives, friends or neighbors who may have witnessed the incident.

Mangone & Miller Law Offices, P.A. can work quickly to present sworn statements to domestic violence prosecutors before a decision is made to file criminal charges against you. This may avoid a prosecution or defer it until a fairer investigation can be conducted which ultimately may result in no charges being filed.

If charges are filed, notwithstanding sworn statements submitted on your behalf, at least we have made an early showing of strength which will help us prepare a strong trial defense.
