Domestic Violence Victims Rights

Victims of Domestic Violence are Neglected.

Victims of Domestic Violence are often overlooked. A lot of people that have a simple argument without any violence in the home and somehow end up having contact with police are actually charged with a domestic violence or spousal abuse case. Whether violence actually occurred or not the alleged victim in the case is often overlooked.

Victims of Domestic Violence Have Rights

There are laws in place to protect the alleged victim of domestic violence. The idea or state interest between these set of laws are to make sure and protect the family unity and to make sure that one spouse or intimate partner is not forced to testify against the other unless they choose to do so. In many cases the court and even the prosecutor is unaware of the laws protecting violence victims but our attorneys can definitely step in and represent you as the victim to make sure you are fully aware of your rights, that you are not pushed around, that your family is not destroyed and that you don’t have to testify if you choose not to.

It’s all about the choice, and the fact is that violence victims have a choice, they can testify if they want to but they don’t have to testify if they choose not to. Often times they are intimidated into testifying without fully being aware of their rights, that’s where we come in. If your loved one is being charged or accused of domestic violence, don’t walk into the lion’s den, hire an attorney to represent YOU as the victim so you can insert your desires, wishes and most importantly, your legal rights as a victim.
