Domestic violence cases are generally straightforward. A fight breaks out between a husband and wife, or unmarried couple, and someone calls the police. If it is a first-time incident and both parties want the charges dropped, we can probably resolve your case by agreeing for you to take classes, such as anger management. Once you have completed the classes, the charge will be dismissed. This can be taken care of quickly at the preliminary hearing level.
In other cases, you may get two partners in a feud, and both of them will be charged with simple assault on one another. And in other cases, the police will just show up at a house, and the first person they talk to will say they are the victim. The police will then arrest the other person involved.
Whatever the facts may be surrounding your domestic violence dispute, you need someone who will listen to your side of the story and protect your rights. Attuned to the importance of the preliminary hearing in Pennsylvania, I will step in right away in order to explore all your options. Many cases are won and lost at preliminary hearings, so make sure you are prepared.
