Domestic Violence & Violent Offenses

Domestic-violence and other violent offense allegations require an additional layer of sensitivity for you and your family. As a prosecutor, I was assigned high risk domestic-violence cases, giving me insight into how the prosecution may try to move a case forward whether the accuser wishes to participate or not.

What may matter in your case

Self-defense or defense of another
Witness credibility and inconsistent accounts
Video, audio, messages, and 911 recordings
Medical records and the nature of alleged injuries
Intent, accident, provocation, and context
Bail conditions, protective orders, and no-contact requirements

A focused defense starts early

Every detail matters in these high-stress cases. At the Law Offices of Ryan P. Callahan, we want to hear your side of what happened. Was this self defense? Did you fear for your safety? Were they the first aggressor? Whether the violent offense is domestic violence or something else, a proper investigation needs to be done.

Often times, the police will take one side into consideration before deciding who to arrest. Let our office conduct an investigation for you so, unlike the police, we can learn the whole story.

Facing a charge or investigation?

Speak with counsel before answering questions or making decisions that may affect your case. An attorney can help advise on what, if anything, you should say. Let someone from the Law Offices of Ryan P. Callahan guide you through this complicated process.
