Domestic violence charge can change your life overnight. From restraining orders to potential jail time, the consequences are immediate and serious.
At Shimon Kohn Law, we provide strong, strategic defense for individuals accused of domestic violence. We understand that these cases are often complex, emotionally charged, and based on incomplete or one-sided information.
Our priority is to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.
Domestic violence charges can arise from disputes between:
Spouses or former spouses
Dating partners
Family members
Roommates or cohabitants
These cases often involve allegations such as:
Physical harm or threats
Emotional or verbal abuse
Harassment or stalking
Violation of restraining orders
Even without visible injuries, accusations alone can lead to criminal charges.
Domestic violence charges can trigger serious and immediate legal action, including:
Arrest without warning
Emergency protective or restraining orders
Removal from your home
No-contact orders affecting family or children
Court appearances and possible custody issues
These consequences can begin before you even have a chance to defend yourself.
Domestic violence cases are often based on conflicting stories, heightened emotions, and limited evidence. Without proper legal representation, you risk:
A permanent criminal record
Jail time or probation
Loss of custody or visitation rights
Damage to your reputation and career
Early legal intervention can make a critical difference.
If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, don’t face it alone.

Yes. In many cases, the decision to proceed is made by the prosecution, not the alleged victim. Charges can move forward even if they change their mind.
A restraining order (or protective order) can prevent you from contacting or going near the alleged victim. It may also require you to leave your home and limit access to your children.
It depends on the circumstances of the case, your criminal history, and the severity of the allegations. Some cases result in probation or dismissal, while others may involve jail time.
