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

(5) Drinking (alcohol) or drug use
