Domestic Violence Charges Are Not Always Valid

Mr. Richardson has represented many people who were wrongly accused of domestic violence. Many of them were working their way through contentious divorces. An angry ex-spouse may want to hurt you and take away your custody rights, and the ex knows that a domestic violence claim will do just that.

Sadly, this hurts everyone involved, and both you and the child will suffer as a result. This is why it is important to defend yourself. You’re not only speaking up for yourself, you’re also protecting your child. Mr. Richardson listens to you and your concerns. He then creates tailored defense strategies that are unique to your needs.

What Are The Possible Consequences Of A Conviction?

If it is a second offense, you are looking at a year behind bars and a $5,000 fine. A third offense is considered a felony, which means five years in jail.

Mr. Richardson utilizes his knowledge and experience to help you fight your criminal charges. He works tirelessly to defend his clients’ best interests and rights. This can make all the difference when your future is on the line.
