Defending Domestic Violence Charges In Arizona
Self-Defense & Protecting Others
Talk to your criminal defense lawyer if you believe you used reasonable force to protect yourself or someone else from harm, but it was turned into an accusation of domestic violence. Relationships can be complicated and can lead to false accusations. Our lawyers can investigate the situation and will look for evidence to support your defense. We will use things like the injuries involved and witness statements to build a case. You don’t have to settle for being falsely accused, reach out to our lawyers today to defend your actions.
Alibi Or Mistaken Identity
In cases where you were falsely identified as the person who committed the alleged act, it can be devastating. The false accusation can possibly lead to life-altering consequences even if you think the facts are clear and you will be exonerated. You will need a skilled lawyer to protect your rights and ensure you walk away from the case innocent. At My AZ Criminal Defense, we will seek out texts, photos, witness information, surveillance footage, and anything else necessary to establish your alibi or that you are being wrongly identified as the perpetrator.
Insufficient Evidence
In order to be proven guilty for domestic violence or any other crime, there must be evidence that supports the accusation beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence that is being used is weak or inconsistent, your case could be dismissed. Part of your lawyer’s job will be to evaluate the evidence against you to see if there are any weaknesses. As they represent you in court, they will use this insufficient evidence defense to prove that you should not be charged for the alleged crime or at the very least, the charges should be reduced.
No Criminal Intent Proven
When you are in a relationship with another person, you are likely going to argue and even have emotional outbursts at times. Sometimes these situations can involve accidental contact, all of which could lead to a domestic violence accusation. Domestic violence requires that you intended to cause harm or fear. If the circumstances simply involved the heat of the moment with no intent, our lawyers can argue and work to prove that you had no criminal intent. Contact our law firm today to get started with a free consultation where we will determine if this defense is right for you.
Excluding Illegally Obtained Evidence
Every person has certain rights. Law enforcement cannot perform a search or seizure without a proper warrant, you should not be questioned under detainment without being read your Miranda rights, and there are more. If any of your rights were violated, the evidence obtained during that violation can be thrown out of court. In some cases, the evidence could be necessary in proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. As skilled lawyers, we will investigate your situation and will put together this defense if your rights were violated.
