Q: False arrest
My fiance was arrested on November 25th for Domestic Battery and unlawful restraint and he is not guilty
A: I recommend finding a good local defense attorney from the county where the case is being prosecuted to handle his case. Best of luck. Al Jones
A: You do not pose a question, yet, the facts are your fiancee faces a criminal charge and has to retain a counsel to defend his legal rights.
A: If he is not guilty, then he absolutely has the right to a trial -- either before a judge or a jury. He must have an experienced attorney representing him in this matter as if he is found guilty of domestic battery, he cannot get court supervision and will have a conviction on his record which he can never expunge. These are very serious charges.
