Getting to the Facts of a Domestic Violence Charge

In domestic violence cases, it is important to get to the facts of the accusations. For over 20 years, our founder, Mark Harris Ruby has focused on quickly getting to the issues and resolving them with speed and skill.

Victims of Domestic Violence

If you are the victim of domestic violence, you need aggressive representation and protection of your rights and well-being. That may come in the form of a restraining order, bringing in the legal process to help ensure your safety. If you are in the midst of a divorce proceeding or battling over custody of your children, it can be an effective tool in formally documenting spousal abuse.

False Accusations of Domestic Violence

Sadly, false accusations of domestic violence and spousal abuse also serve as strategies in securing additional custody or child support. Ironically, the accused becomes the victim and has to deal with a civil divorce matter and a criminal spousal abuse charge. At Mark Harris Ruby Attorney At Law, we will aggressively defend your rights.

Severity of a Domestic Violence Charge

Police and prosecution handle allegations of domestic violence aggressively. If the police are called to your house while you and your spouse are in the midst of an intense argument, someone is leaving with them. After the situation has cooled down, the accuser may not have the option of recanting as the prosecution now has control over the case.
