attorneys at Longwell & Gentle, P.A. if you, or someone you know,

If a person is accused of
domestic or spousal abuse, it is essentially an assault and battery in a
domestic (home) setting. Special law enforcement policies and laws
apply in spousal abuse cases. The police are under orders to make an
arrest if they have probable cause to believe domestic violence has
occurred. The person arrested is often times held without bond (or with a
high bond) for 24 or more hours.
In family violence
situations, prosecutors generally encourage victims to press charges. It
is a common misconception that a domestic violence case will be dropped
if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. It is up to the
prosecutor to decide whether or not charges will be filed. In some
instances, he or she will prosecute the case without the victim's
cooperation. If you are facing a domestic violence charge, you need an
experienced defense attorney on your side.
