If you’re a man falsely accused of domestic violence, you need help—but where are you supposed to turn?
Who’s going to believe that the accusations are completely false, or that you were simply defending yourself in response to a domestic violence incident that you didn’t start?
What to Do if You’re a Man Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence
For most people facing any type of domestic battery accusation (to include aggravated domestic battery or even an order of protection) in Chicago’s courts, it’s best to work with a domestic battery lawyer who understands the law and how it applies to the charges.
Defending Against False Accusations of Domestic Violence
It’s very important that you understand how severe the consequences of a domestic violence-related conviction can be. Domestic battery alone is a Class A misdemeanor, which carries long-lasting implications—but in some cases, it can be a Class 4 felony (and that carries a penalty of up to 3 years in prison and fines of up to $25,000). Aggravated domestic battery is a Class 2 felony, and you could spend between 3 and 7 years in prison for it; if you have a previous conviction for the same crime, you could spend up to 14 years behind bars.
Your lawyer will evaluate the whole situation, including what “evidence” the prosecution has against you. Once your attorney has read through police reports, talked to witnesses, and gotten your side of the story, he’ll be able to put together a defense that gets you the best possible outcome.
The bottom line: If you’re a man who’s been falsely accused of domestic violence, you don’t have to accept the accusations or criminal charges without fighting back. You can work with an attorney who will fight to preserve your rights—and your freedom.
