Experienced Attorneys for Your Domestic Violence Case
Although we would never minimize the impact of domestic violence on families and society, we also know that there are nearly always two sides to the story. Alcohol and revenge can sometimes play a role. Whatever happened — and even if you feel the case has no merit at all -- it can be critical to have experienced representation when facing a domestic violence charge.
When you turn to us at Anderson & Mulrine, PLLC, in Leesburg, you can work closely with an attorney who is:
- Balanced and non-judgmental, with vast life experience to draw upon
- A former prosecutor with deep insight into Northern Virginia courts, officials and procedures
- Dedicated to uncovering all evidence in your favor and approaching your defense according to your unique priorities
- Experienced in winning at trial and negotiating favorable outcomes out of court
Going the Distance to Protect You From Personally and Financially Devastating Penalties
We are well prepared to handle your case with a strong commitment to proving your innocence or minimizing adverse consequences. In any domestic violence case — including an alleged violation of an order for protection — those consequences can be devastating. For example:
- Domestic violence offenses may be classified as "involving moral turpitude" and therefore, may result in loss of immigrant status or deportation.
- A protective order may be imposed for as long as four years after a single incident, depriving you of access to your home and even your children — and even a first time violation of the order may produce a mandatory jail sentence.
- A domestic violence conviction can have major, lasting impact on your security clearance, ability to hold certain types of jobs and right to possess a firearm.
