Family Law Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after being accused of domestic violence in Charlotte?

Do not confront the accuser or discuss the incident with anyone other than your attorney. Avoid posting about the situation on social media. Contact a Charlotte domestic violence defense attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and start building your defense.

Can domestic violence charges be dropped if the accuser changes their mind?

Not necessarily. In Charlotte, once charges are filed, only the prosecutor has the authority to drop them, not the alleged victim. Even if the accuser wants to withdraw their statement, the case may still proceed. An experienced defense lawyer can work to have the charges reduced or dismissed.

What are the potential penalties for a domestic violence conviction in Charlotte?

Penalties can include jail time, probation, mandatory counseling, fines, restraining orders, and a permanent criminal record. The severity of the punishment depends on the specific charges, prior offenses, and the circumstances of the case.

How can a domestic violence lawyer help me fight the charges?

A skilled domestic violence attorney can investigate the facts, challenge the credibility of the evidence, negotiate for reduced charges, or fight for dismissal in court. They can also protect your rights in related matters such as child custody, visitation, or firearm restrictions.

From the moment I called Martine Law, I was given strength and guidance through a criminal case I thought was going to put me behind bars for a very long time. Instead, this firm stuck with me and guided me to an outcome I am so grateful for. My attorney stayed on top of it all, keeping me updated, and was always quick to get things done for my case. Now, I'm not behind locked doors but home and with my family.

The Martine Law team was absolutely amazing, companionate & caring with my divorce. I didn’t feel like I was alone and always had support from someone who knew the system. I am looking forward to being a happy father spending quality time with my daughters, and I plan to share my happiest moments with them. Attorney Rhiley O’Rourke gave me hope, and if you’re a father who loves his children, she has my full and complete recommendation.
