OVERVIEW

Facing a Domestic Violence Charge? Protect Your Rights and Your Future.

A domestic violence charge can change your life overnight. In addition to the possibility of jail time and a criminal record, you may be removed from your home, prohibited from contacting your family, and face consequences that affect child custody, employment, and your reputation. These cases often arise from emotionally charged situations, and the initial allegations do not always tell the full story.

We move quickly to protect your rights, challenge the evidence against you, and work toward the best possible outcome for your case. Your first consultation is always free, confidential, and an opportunity to understand your legal options.

Penalties may include:

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for both your financial losses and the physical and emotional impact the accident has had on your life.

  • ✓ Jail time
  • ✓ A no-contact order
  • ✓ A permanent record

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Say

I was injured in class by a teacher telling me to perform a science experiment with no protection. I had bad burns to my face. At a mediation the insurance company would not even pay us 100k for my injuries. Lawrence got them to pay me over 250k.
Jan G
I was wrongfully arrested and prosecuted by the Tiverton Police Department. Lawrence sued them in Federal Court and tried the case during Covid in front of a jury. The Jury awarded me over 87K in pain and suffering, and awarded us attorney fees which amounted to over 200k.
Paul F
I was charged with driving double the speed limit. Lawrence tried the case, appealed, and then appealed again to the District Court, which reversed the decision because the state police could not ignore their own regulations on calibrating the radar.
Daniel H
I was hit by another car on 95 south. The other driver tried to blame me. Her insurance company sided with her. Lawrence took them to court had an accident reconstruction expert piece back the accident, and with that the insurance company still would not budge. Lawrence kept fighting and was taking the case to trial, when finally the insurance company realized they were not going to win.
Xiaye Wu
I was injured in Massachusetts in a car accident. The insurance company said it was my fault and offered me 2k. Lawrence sued and got me Policy limits, and then went after my insurance policy for underinsured benefits and I am sure he will get the same thing.
Constance S
I was injured at work and had an attorney handle my workers compensation case, however my attorney did not inform me that I could also file a claim against the third party that was supposed to maintain the walkway. I met with Lawrence after hearing my case was not worth much. We demanded 100k and it was rejected. Lawrence filed suit and in Federal Court we walked out with just under 400k.

False allegations happen, often during divorce or custody disputes. We investigate and gather the evidence needed to defend you.
No. Any contact could violate a no-contact order and create new charges. Do not reach out, and call us first.
