Domestic Violence & Same Sex Couples

Handling same sex domestic violence charges may be slightly different than handling typical domestic violence cases involving a man and a woman, where a woman is most frequently the victim. In a same sex domestic violence case, the victim may be a man or a woman and the alleged offender may be of the same gender as the victim. For a person in a gay or lesbian relationship who has been accused of domestic violence, it is important to work with an attorney familiar with handling these particular cases. In dealing with law enforcement or other legal professionals, it is possible that unjustified bias against the gay and lesbian community may come into play. You can count on our firm to treat you with the respect and compassion you deserve in this important matter as we aggressively defend your rights and help you challenge your charges. After all, you may be at risk of facing time in county jail or even years of imprisonment for this alleged offense. Make sure you have the legal counsel you need to avoid maximum penalties or a conviction altogether.
