OHIO LAW RECOGNIZED MANY TYPES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ALL CARRY STRICT PENALTIES

In Ohio, a domestic violence offense does not only include knowingly or recklessly causing physical harm to a family or household member. You may be charged with domestic violence because of alleged threats of harm, harassment over the telephone, stalking, and many other instances that make the other party feel unsafe. This means that a domestic violence allegation can arise from a situation where you never touched a person or caused bodily harm. 

On top of that, the increasing social pressure around domestic violence is leading prosecutors and courts to seek and hand out strict penalties even for misdemeanor domestic violence convictions. From prison and jail time to high fines to the loss of gun rights, a DV charge can derail your life. You have the right to defend yourself against accusations and need a domestic violence lawyer in Columbus who understands the complexities of Ohio’s domestic violence law and can help you get your life back on track.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

At the Meade Law Group, we have seen many cases of spouses bringing forth false DV allegations to get a better position in divorce hearings, ex-spouses trying to get sole custody of children, and even accusations made out of pure malice. Sometimes, even the state of Ohio can be the perpetrator – a verbal argument can escalate if the police get involved and the state will not dismiss the charges, even when both spouses do not wish to pursue them. 

Darren L. Meade is a domestic violence attorney in Columbus, Ohio, who has the experience to navigate even the most complex cases and successfully protect you from a domestic violence conviction.

OUR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEFENSE LAWYERS KNOW WHICH DEFENSE TO USE

There are many ways we can defend you against DV charges. The police may have failed to read you your Miranda rights, lacked reasonable suspicion or probable cause during the investigation, or violated your Fourth Amendment rights with an unlawful search and seizure. You may be the victim of a false report or were entrapped and had to resort to self-defense. 

The Meade Law Group’s domestic violence lawyers know which defense can lead to the charges being dismissed or an acquittal.
