Allegations of domestic violence are serious — and so are the consequences. If you’ve been accused, it’s critical to act quickly and secure strong legal representation. At Ratliff Jackson LLP, we understand how emotionally charged and complex these cases can be. Our experienced criminal defense team is here to help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights every step of the way.
Why Domestic Violence Cases Demand Immediate Action
In many jurisdictions, law enforcement takes a “mandatory arrest” approach when responding to domestic violence calls. This often means someone goes to jail — sometimes before the facts are fully understood. Protective orders may be issued within hours, limiting access to your home, children, and even employment opportunities.
At Ratliff Jackson LLP, we believe that every story has two sides. We make sure yours is heard.
Strategic Defense from Experienced Criminal Attorneys
Domestic violence charges can include:
- Assault and battery
- Threats or intimidation
- Harassment or stalking
- Violation of a restraining order
- Emotional or psychological abuse
Our legal team takes a strategic and tailored approach to each case. Whether the accusation stems from a misunderstanding, a contentious breakup, or is being used as leverage in a custody battle, we investigate thoroughly and fight for the truth.
Possible Defenses We Explore
Each case is unique, but common legal defenses may include:
- Self-defense or defense of others
- False allegations
- Lack of evidence
- Constitutional violations (unlawful search or seizure, denial of counsel)
We work closely with investigators, expert witnesses, and forensic specialists to build a compelling defense — one grounded in facts, not assumptions.
Protect Your Future
A conviction for domestic violence can lead to jail time, fines, loss of firearm rights, and permanent damage to your reputation. It can also impact custody arrangements, immigration status, and employment prospects.
You deserve a defense that’s as serious as the charges you’re facing.
