Domestic Violence Leaving Nothing To Chance

Attleboro Domestic Violence Lawyer

A domestic violence accusation can alter your life overnight. Police intervention, emergency restraining orders, removal from your home, and arrest often happen within hours of a complaint. Even before your case reaches court, the consequences can affect your job, your housing, your parental rights, and your reputation.

State prosecutors treat domestic violence allegations with exceptional seriousness. These cases move quickly, and the state often pursues charges even when the alleged victim wants to drop them. You need experienced legal representation immediately.

With over 35 years of experience and insight gained as a former Assistant District Attorney, Brian Roman understands how domestic violence cases are built and how to dismantle weak or exaggerated claims. The sooner you contact Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law, the more options you may have in fighting your case.

Our Domestic Violence Defense Services

Whether you are facing domestic assault, kidnapping, or stalking, we take a meticulous, strategic approach to every case.

Our defense process includes:

Conducting an independent investigation of the allegations
Examining police reports for procedural errors
Identifying inconsistencies in witness statements
Reviewing body camera footage and 911 recordings
Challenging exaggerated or false claims
Filing motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence

We understand that emotions, misunderstandings, and high-conflict family dynamics can influence accusations. When appropriate, we negotiate for reduced charges, diversion programs, counseling alternatives, or outcomes that protect your long-term record.

If a trial becomes necessary, we prepare thoroughly and present a disciplined, fact-driven defense designed to challenge the prosecution’s narrative.

What Constitutes Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence allegations can involve:

Physical harm or assault and battery
Threats of imminent harm
Conduct causing fear for personal safety or the safety of children
Intimidation or harassment
Unwanted sexual conduct within an intimate relationship

These cases can pertain to:

Spouses or former spouses
Partners who live together or previously lived together
Individuals who share a child
Dating or former dating partners
People related by blood or marriage

Because these allegations arise in emotionally charged environments, often during breakups, custody disputes, or family conflict, the facts are not always as straightforward as they first appear.

Potential Domestic Violence Penalties

Domestic violence charges can be prosecuted as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances and your prior record.

In Massachusetts, a first offense of assault and battery on a family or household member can carry:

Up to two and one-half years in a house of correction
Fines up to $5,000
Mandatory completion of a batterer’s intervention program

Subsequent offenses may result in up to five years in state prison.

In addition, courts frequently issue restraining orders (209A orders in Massachusetts), which may:

Prohibit any contact with the alleged victim
Force you to leave your home
Restrict access to your children
Suspend firearm rights
Order you to pay child and/or spousal support
Order you to pay for any losses suffered by the alleged victim, such as medical bills, home/vehicle repairs, lost wages, and more

Violating a restraining order is itself a separate criminal offense. Beyond court penalties, a conviction can impact employment opportunities, professional licenses, custody arrangements, and future educational prospects.
