Castle Rock Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers Ready to Stand Up for You
Although domestic violence is a very real and extremely serious offense, there are times when a spouse or significant other is wrongly accused of this crime. If you’ve been charged with domestic violence in the Denver Metro Area, it is imperative that you plead not guilty, and retain an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible, so that he can mount the strongest defense possible on your behalf.
When a domestic violence defense attorney reads a police report, he is assessing the strength of the evidence against his client. Our Denver criminal defense attorneys will scan the report for anything inconsistent with the claim, and begin to build a defense based on the information provided.
Defenses to a Domestic Violence Charge
There are two common defenses to a domestic violence charge:
- Self-defense. Under the doctrine of self-defense, a defendant may be justified in the use of physical force toward the plaintiff, as long as the defendant reasonably believed that the force was necessary to protect against the plaintiff’s use of unlawful force.
- De Minimis infractions. Under this defense, the alleged act of domestic violence was minor conduct that is too trivial to be considered a criminal offense.
