Charged with Family Violence?
We Defend Your Rights—and Your Reputation
Family violence charges are highly emotional, often one-sided, and can carry consequences long before a case ever reaches court. At Christian & Nisbet, we understand the weight of these accusations and the damage they can cause to your relationships, your freedom, and your future. Our defense is immediate, strategic, and focused on protecting both your legal rights and your personal integrity.
We Handle All Types of Domestic Assault Allegations
Our firm defends clients in cases involving:
Assault of a spouse, partner, or household member
Allegations during divorce or child custody disputes
Violations of protective or restraining orders
Repeated or “continuous” family violence charges
False or retaliatory claims
Cases involving roommates, ex-partners, or relatives
Many family violence charges are filed without a full investigation—or are based on emotionally charged accusations that lack evidence. We work quickly to correct the record.
OUR APPROACH
Fast Action. Full Defense.
Time is critical in family violence cases. We intervene early to review police reports, gather witness statements, preserve communications, and uncover the full story. If protective orders or bond conditions are already in place, we work to modify or lift them.
We understand how allegations—true or false—can impact child custody, employment, and housing. Our approach is always discreet, proactive, and prepared to go to trial if necessary.
What You’re Facing
Even misdemeanor charges can carry serious penalties:
Jail time, fines, and mandatory counseling
Loss of gun rights—even for a first offense
A permanent family violence designation on your record
Impact on child custody and divorce proceedings
Immigration or professional licensing consequences
If convicted, a family violence designation cannot be removed or expunged. That makes your defense—and your choice of attorney—critically important.
