Compassionate Domestic Assault And Restraining Order Attorney
Domestic violence is a serious offense that is frequently charged by Minnesota prosecutors. Unfortunately, there are a lot of domestic assault accusations. Some of these cases are legitimate and some aren’t. Regardless of why you or a loved one has been charged with domestic assault, you need an experienced St. Paul domestic assault lawyer in your corner throughout the entire legal process.
At Lesch Law Firm, our attorney delivers that advocacy. Even if you feel that there is no chance for dismissal, reduced charges or acquittal, you need to be properly represented. You have rights that have to be protected. Plus, experienced and competent representation by an experienced trial attorney can make a difference in the outcome of the case regardless of innocence or guilt.
Proper Representation In Domestic Violence Cases In Minnesota
Lesch Law Firm provides clients with experienced representation in their domestic assault cases. This involves a thorough evaluation of the facts, such as looking into the injuries sustained by the alleged victim, reasons for possible retaliation and others.
You also may be facing an order for protection (OFP). OFPs are common in domestic assault cases. If you have children, the situation is even more complicated because an OFP restricts you from spending time with your children. You can challenge an OFP, and our lawyer can help you. In the meantime, however, you can’t violate the OFP – even if by accident – because you could be arrested and charged with a new crime, which will complicate our attorney’s ability to deal with your existing assault charge.
What Should You Do If You’ve Been Accused Of Domestic Assault?
If you’ve been accused of criminal charges like domestic assault, remain calm and avoid any contact with the accuser to prevent further complications. Document everything, including any communication and events leading up to the accusation. Collect anything that might prove your innocence, including text conversations, emails and witness testimonies. Do not discuss the accusations or your case with anyone other than your legal representation, as these conversations could be used against you in your case.
What Should You Do If You Have Been Served With An Order Of Protection?
If you’ve been served with an OFP, adhere strictly to its terms to avoid additional legal consequences, even if you do not think it is necessary. Review the order carefully to understand all the restrictions, including no-contact provisions and any limitations on your movements. Make sure you are not accidentally violating the OFP, and keep a thorough record of your actions and whereabouts to confirm your compliance. Our lawyer can help you prepare for your court hearing and collect any evidence that can counter the claims against you.
