Strong Legal Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges
When an accusation of domestic violence threatens your freedom, your reputation, and your future, you need more than just legal advice. You need a strong advocate on your side. At my law firm, Kathryn Kyatt King, Attorney at Law, I understand how emotionally charged and complex these cases can be. My goal is to provide calm, informed guidance and an effective criminal defense strategy that protects your rights and helps you move forward.
Understanding Domestic Violence Charges in Alabama
In Alabama, domestic violence encompasses a range of offenses committed against a current or former spouse, partner, family member, or household member. These charges can stem from situations that escalate quickly and sometimes involve misunderstandings, false accusations, or acts committed in self-defense.
Even a first-time arrest for domestic violence can have serious consequences, including:
- Jail time or probation
- Loss of firearm rights
- Protective or restraining orders
- Custody and visitation issues
- Damage to employment and reputation
Because these cases often involve both criminal and family law issues, having a lawyer who understands the full impact of domestic violence allegations is essential.
How I Can Help
Every case is unique. When you meet with me, I will take the time to understand your side of the story and the circumstances leading to your arrest. My approach is built on thorough preparation and open communication.
I will:
- Review the evidence and police reports in detail
- Determine whether law enforcement had probable cause for your arrest
- Evaluate the reliability of witness statements and any inconsistencies
- Challenge protective orders or no-contact restrictions when appropriate
- Negotiate with prosecutors to seek reduced or dismissed charges
- Prepare a strong defense strategy if your case goes to trial
Throughout the process, you will be informed, involved, and supported. My goal is to protect your rights, preserve your future, and work toward the best possible outcome.
