Domestic violence charges almost always arise out of some kind of argument between spouses, boyfriend and girlfriend, or same-sex partners. When arguments get especially heated, one person may place his or her hands on the other. Perhaps in the heat of the moment, you put your hands on your partner's neck. Maybe you didn't, but it was alleged that you did. Either way, if you are charged with domestic battery with strangulation, you face very serious charges.
In 2009, Nevada passed a law that made domestic battery with strangulation a felony charge. This charge is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. If you face these charges, this is not the time to entrust your defense to an overworked public defender, discount lawyer or attorney who does not devote all of his practice to criminal defense. You need someone who has handled these cases and understands what is necessary to get a favorable result in your case. At Turco & Draskovich, our attorneys have extensive experience defending individuals in Nevada courts against domestic violence charges. We have built a strong record of success and can defend you in even the most difficult of situations. Contact one of our experienced Las Vegas defense attorneys today.
Do Not Give Up; Do Not Plead Guilty
If you have been charged with felony domestic violence, your choice of attorney will make a major difference in your case. For instance, many defense lawyers will consider it a successful result if they can convince the prosecutor to reduce the charge to misdemeanor domestic violence. For our attorneys, a misdemeanor charge represents the beginning of negotiations, and not the end. Obviously all cases are fact-specific, and we cannot promise any result. We do, however, promise that we will use our best efforts, extensive experience and knowledge of the laws to deliver the most favorable result in your case.
There is almost always some kind of defense, no matter how strong the evidence against you appears. If you are facing felony charges, you need someone who knows what to do and how to use all of the factual and legal issues to your advantage.
