Phoenix Criminal Attorney

Domestic Violence

Are you in danger in your own home?

If you are being targeted as a victim of ongoing or potential domestic violence, the lawyers of Alcock & Associates, in the Phoenix area, urge you to take the steps necessary to protect yourself and your children. We strongly advise you to go through the proper channels of the law before your domestic struggle becomes even more dangerous.

Have you been accused of domestic violence?

If, on the other hand, you have been named as an assailant in a domestic violence incident, please understand that you are engaged in a very serious legal situation.

Contact us to schedule a consultation regarding criminal defense after you have been charged or arrested for domestic violence. As criminal defense lawyers, we work to assist our clients as well as other family members or other individuals involved in the alleged dispute(s).

Jail is rarely the answer in domestic violence situations.

The best route to a successful defense of domestic violence charges may include anger management therapy or mediation. Whether by this path or through other ways, our goal in domestic violence cases is the same as in other criminal cases: to obtain the best available outcomes for our clients, such as:

• Prevention of a criminal record (misdemeanor or felony)
• Voluntary diversion programs (such as counseling) in lieu of jail time
• Help devising a plan or reaching a resolution that suits all parties in the domestic violence complaint

Allow us to introduce you as a human being to the prosecution.

As former prosecutors, our lawyers know that the prosecutor's office is likely to consider a domestic violence suspect as a folder, a file, or a case number. We, on the other hand, get to know our clients as individuals: human beings (sons, daughters, wives, husbands). It is our job to introduce our clients as flesh-and-blood persons with unique life stories.

It is our position that in most cases, jail is not the answer to charges of spousal abuse. With this goal, we zealously defend the accused in domestic violence cases. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
