Domestic Violence Attorney Lawrenceville

Question: The other night my boyfriend and I got into a fight and he held me down and wouldn't get off of me so I threw his phone and broke it. Then he got back on top of me and once again wouldn't let me go. Whenever he finally let me go I called my mom and she called the cops because I had marks on me. The cops came and we both went to jail. I was charged for throwing and breaking his phone and he was charged for false imprisonment. I got out of jail the next day but he had no bond of course. He went and talked with the judge today and they denied him bond. I want to see about getting the charge dropped. Any advice please? This is his first offence.

Answer: You cannot drop the charges. The state prosecutor is the party in the case, you are only a witness. So, now the main thing you can do is retain an attorney to assist him. Click here for info on retaining the right attorney

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
