Family Violence Enhancements

Some charges such as aggravated assault have a family violence enhancement.  This means that the penalty is enhanced because there was domestic violence involved.  This can result in longer prison time and loss of rights to own a firearm.  We fight to prevent these enhancements from being implemented.

Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges

Where our client was acting in self defense we establish the truth for the court to see. We are aware that some domestic violence charges are trumped up by unscrupulous mates seeking to obtain advantage in child custody battles. We find out the facts so as to set the record straight. 

Protective Order

If you have been served with a restraining order or protective order, it is important to obtain legal counsel at once.  These orders often require that you leave your home and stop communication with your spouse or family.  While your first impulse may be making up with your partner, this can get you in further trouble.  If you return to your home even with your partner's permission, you are subject to arrest.  It is important to work through an attorney to first get the protective order lifted. We are eager to put our skills to use in your defense.  Contact  domestic violence defense attorney John J. Fox to discuss your case.
