The Law Office of James R. Snell, JR. June 2017

Defending Those Charged With Criminal Domestic Violence When the Finger Is Pointed

Criminal domestic violence (CDV) is one of the most heavily policed and prosecuted crimes in the state of South Carolina. It’s important that every domestic violence call be reported, because without support, the situation is only going to get worse. Problems arise, though, when accusations are made falsely or vindictively. If you’ve been wrongly accused of domestic violence, you deserve to have your story heard and your name cleared. The criminal defense team at The Law Office of James R. Snell Jr. understands that just because someone has been charged with domestic violence does not mean they are guilty of any wrongdoing. It’s a sad fact that some cases stem from a partner trying to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings, or a police call made in anger as retribution. Due to the nature of domestic violence, police officers often feel that they have to make an arrest on every domestic disturbance call, regardless of whether there’s probable cause. Once a domestic violence case has been initiated, it can be easy for things to get blown out of proportion. If you don’t retain the help of an experienced defense attorney, it’s easy to end up with serious charges that you don’t

rightfully deserve to be facing. Appearing alone in court can lead to you losing your rights or being pressured into a situation against your best interests. Being wrongly accused of domestic violence can be a traumatic experience, and you need an attorney who will treat the process from a legal, rather than emotional, perspective. James R. Snell Jr. has written a book that serves as a resource for those accused of and charged with criminal domestic violence. It’s called “Challenging CDV,” and it will help guide you through a difficult, complicated legal process. If you would like a free copy of the book, please call our office at 888-301-6004.
