However, unlike many other offenses, domestic violence is unique in that many people are wrongfully accused of this crime.

Difficulties of Domestic Violence Cases

What makes domestic violence charges so difficult to overcome? There are a number of different factors. On one hand, while the law is supposed to be impartial, humans rarely are and sometimes it can be difficult to get past jury bias that usually leans in favor of the victim and prosecution. These cases are often seen as “guilty until proven innocent,” rather than the other way around.

This only becomes more difficult when the facts and evidence in cases may come down to contrasting testimonies which tell a completely different story. Evidence to support each side’s claims may be hard to come by, and it takes an extremely skilled attorney to analyze the facts of each case and come up with a cohesive strategy for effective defense. This is particularly true in instances where there are no documented injuries, no witness testimony, and no other forms of evidence beyond the word of the alleged victim.

Some even find they have to relocate in order to get a fresh start.

Penalties for domestic violence can include:

Incarceration in state jail or prison
Heavy fines
Immense social stigma
Loss of rights to firearm ownership, licenses, and more
