Whether you allowed your emotions to take over and have made threats or attempts to physically harm another person, or a bystander to your argument called the police unnecessarily, you will most likely be arrested for domestic violence. New York law requires police to make an arrest when they are called to any domestic disturbance. Fighting these charges also involves fighting an automatic negative bias against you, which is why it is vital to retain a skilled, experienced and caring criminal defense attorney to defend you.
At J. Iandolo Law, P.C., I have experience handling domestic violence and domestic abuse cases, which has equipped me with the skills to provide the reliable legal representation you need. From start to finish, I examine the circumstances of your arrest, talk to witnesses and build an effective defense that may help you secure the optimal result possible against your domestic violence charge.
What is domestic violence?
In New York, domestic violence is understood as any act or threatened act of violence upon someone with whom the accused has had an intimate relationship. This means individuals do not have to be married in order to be charged with domestic violence – parents, stepparents, roommates, partners or anyone residing in the same household can be accused of domestic violence crimes. The following acts are considered domestic violence in New York:
- Actual or threatened physical harm
- Sexual assault
- Rape
- Sexual battery
- Statutory rape
- Stalking
- Criminal harassment, such as threatening letters or phone calls
- Kidnapping
- Pushing, hitting, slapping, choking, kicking or biting
I work hard to defend you against criminal charges. When it is in your best interest, I help you negotiate a plea deal to avoid more serious punishment.
