Domestic Violence

Protecting Your Interests in Domestic Violence Cases

If the police respond to a domestic violence call at your home, they typically take someone with them. The state of Illinois takes these matters very seriously and takes a near zero tolerance approach when addressing domestic violence cases. Even if the alleged victim later chooses to not press charges, the government typically moves forward with a prosecution.

A conviction on domestic violence charges can result in severe penalties, including fines, jail time and a criminal record that could follow you for the rest of your life. If you are facing any kind of spousal abuse, domestic assault or domestic battery-related charges, speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney. At the Saint Charles, Illinois-based law firm of Scott W. Sheen & Associates, P.C., we fight aggressively to protect your rights.

Sharp, Thorough Representation

While many accusations of domestic violence have merit, just as many are complete fabrications made out of spite or retaliation. When you hire our firm, we tenaciously pursue the truth and do everything we can to expose false allegations for the lies that they are and work to have any restraining orders or orders of protection removed.

When we take a case, we fully investigate it from every angle. We will interview the victim and any witnesses. We look at medical records, injury photos and any other evidence the prosecutors plan to use against you. Our attorneys have handled countless domestic violence cases and we are committed to helping you reach the most favorable possible outcome.
