Fighting Domestic Violence Charges
At Lawrence, Smith and Gardner, we help people who have been arrested on charges of domestic violence and other assault and battery charges. We also help those who have had restraining orders brought against them. If you are facing these charges, we can help you understand your legal options and seek a dismissal of charges if possible.
Virginia law provides first-time domestic violence offenders the opportunity to be placed on probation and enter treatment and education programs. Upon successful completion of these programs, charges can be dismissed. Our attorneys will carefully examine all of the details of your case to help you determine a course of action that best suits your needs.
Domestic Violence And Immigration
If you are visiting this country or actively seeking citizenship, a domestic violence conviction can permanently derail your plans. Crimes such as domestic violence, child abuse and child neglect are considered deportable offenses. Also, if you are found to have violated an order of protection, you are also subject to probation. Our defense lawyers understand the immigration consequences of domestic violence charges and can help you pursue freedom from the consequences of a conviction.
