Hiring The Right Domestic Violence Defense Attorney in Taylor, Michigan

When it comes to the ability to help you beat domestic violence charges in Taylor, not all defense attorneys are created equal. Finding the right legal representation is often the difference between an outright dismissal, reduced charges, an acquittal, and a misdemeanor or felony conviction that could have been avoided.

You might be tempted to use a public defender, but with so much to lose, an overworked and underpaid public servant with a caseload so heavy that they don’t have time to devote to your defense probably isn’t your ideal option.

Likewise, the average criminal law firm in Taylor probably doesn’t have a lot of experience specifically handling domestic assault cases. That lack of expertise puts you at a major strategic disadvantage.

The laws regarding intimate partner violence in Michigan are very nuanced – what separates a felony from a misdemeanor or an acquittal from a conviction can come down to the right interpretation, motion, or argument made in court.

As the #1 domestic violence law firm in Michigan, Blank Law knows what it takes to win your case and is focused on fighting for your Constitutional, legal, and civil rights.
