Q: Hello. I need to file a domestic violence charge against my friend on Thursday. He beat me up.
I need a domestic violence prosecuter not domestic lawyer
A: For domestic violence complaint purposes, It is not uncommon for the person filing the domestic violence complaint to have a lawyer represent her in connection with the preparation of the complaint and to represent her in connection with the trial. Our office handles that type of setting on a regular basis. If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss the substance of your complaint, whether you need to make any amendments to the complaint, and to determine whether you should have counsel represent you in the trial, please feel free to contact us. Even if you decide not to retain us to represent you, the consultation can be helpful in understanding the proofs you need to present at trial, how those materials are best presented to the court and whether you should amend your complaint (as to the specific claims made by you).
