Defending Against Domestic Assault or Restraining Order Charges

With substantial experience in both criminal defense and family law, the trial attorneys of Taylor & Boguski know how to approach and resolve domestic violence charges in New Jersey. We know that many defendants are arrested on minimal evidence due to the requirement that police officers take suspects into custody when the alleged victim shows any sign of injury. We also know that false or exaggerated charges of domestic violence can often appear in divorce cases or child custody disputes.

Domestic Violence Defense in a Wide Range of Situations

To work with experienced lawyers who can protect your interests in cases of domestic assault, family violence or restraining order violations, contact Taylor & Boguski in Mount Laurel. We work with clients facing exposure to punishment in these cases in both municipal court and Superior Court. Examples of the kinds of cases we handle include:

• Simple assault of a spouse, significant other or any other member of the defendant’s current or former household
• Aggravated assault cases that can be charged as domestic violence
• Harassment or stalking charges
• Violations of restraining orders, including violations of no-contact orders or support obligations
• Terroristic threats
• Property crimes, such as trespass, malicious mischief or intentional destruction of the alleged victim’s property

Our attorneys advise people involved with domestic violence charges to obtain legal counsel as quickly as possible and to avoid saying anything more than the minimum necessary to arresting officers or the alleged victim at the scene of the arrest or afterward. People charged with domestic violence offenses often think that a full explanation of who did what to whom and why will get them out of trouble, especially when the case seems minor. Unfortunately, these statements can often give the prosecution more evidence to use toward a conviction.

Avoiding Violations of Restraining Orders

If you have had a restraining order or order for protection entered against you, make sure that you understand what it covers. For example, re-entering your own property to remove your own personal belongings will usually be prohibited under the terms of a restraining order, and repeat violations can result in mandatory jail time. Our lawyers can protect your interests while developing the case for termination or modification of the restraining order in place against you.
