Domestic Violence / Assault

Durham Domestic Violence and Assault Attorney

Domestic violence cases are handled uniquely in the state of North Carolina, and certain aspects of them may even seem harsher than most other criminal charges. For example, you may be held in jail without bail for 48 hours. When you face a domestic violence charge, your constitutional rights are at stake, and you need experienced representation from Driver Law Firm, P.A..

Domestic violence is the only charge in the state of North Carolina where a magistrate is not authorized to set a bond within the first 48 hours after the arrest. The state clearly treats domestic violence cases with the utmost seriousness, and prosecutors pursue them aggressively. Even if the alleged victim requests that the prosecution drop the case, there is no guarantee that it will happen.

Protection from Harsh Penalties

At Driver Law Firm, P.A., we have handled many domestic violence cases where the alleged victim of the violence requested that the charges be dismissed. Often, the prosecutor will refuse to dismiss the charges even if asked by the alleged victim herself. Attorney Michael Driver has the experience to handle this situation and has been very successful in past cases he has handled. Let Attorney Michael Driver put that experience to work for you.
