Have you been arrested in Brooklyn on the criminal charge of Domestic Violence? If so a Brooklyn Domestic Violence Lawyer should inform you that Domestic Violence might be one of several kinds of criminal behavior. This includes murder, assault, rape, harassment, sexual abuse, sodomy, excessive corporal punishment, as well as aggravated harassment, among others. The criminal act can be considered Domestic Violence if you perpetrated one of these kinds of crimes against a member of your family or, alternatively, against another individual who lives with you. In the state of New York, as well as on Long Island (both Nassau County as well as in Suffolk County), the respective office of the District Attorney aggressively prosecutes cases of Domestic Violence cases.

Regardless if you're in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, or in Queens, the Office of the District Attorney as well as the police have special units assigned to combat Domestic Violence. Each experienced Brooklyn Domestic Violence Lawyer on the team at Stephen Bilkis & Associates knows that a large percentage of Domestic Violence cases will be assaults. We also are aware that the majority of these assaults are not witnessed by any individual who was not involved with the alleged criminal act. Why is this important? It means that your case might develop into a question of who said what...and which party's side of the story is believed.

The result of this is important: A Brooklyn Criminal Lawyer experienced with the Brooklyn Criminal Courts might have the chance to generate a reasonable doubt about which individual involved is telling the truth. In that kind of situation, your Brooklyn Domestic Violence Attorney might make the claim that you acted in self defense as a way to fight any criminal charges you face. For instance, in a case of Domestic Violence, the New York City police sometime arrest the wrong individual if, for example, a victim fights back and has injured the attacker, who then complains to the police. The knowledge of a Brooklyn Domestic Violence Lawyer can build an effective defense case for you.
