Domestic Violence
Many defendants charged with domestic violence do not retain an attorney at first because they think the prosecution will simply drop the charges against them. Defendants assume that the prosecution will not pursue a conviction if the alleged victim asks the prosecution to drop the charges. Most prosecutors, however, are very reluctant to dismiss domestic violence charges once charges have been filed.
If you have been arrested for domestic violence, it is important to understand that the prosecution has the right to compel your spouse, girlfriend or domestic partner to testify against you at trial. To protect your rights, it is important to retain a criminal defense lawyer who can protect your rights and handle your case properly.

Disorderly Conduct
Disorderly conduct is a catchall charge that police use to arrest anyone they perceive to be acting up or causing a problem. In many of these cases, the evidence is based on police accounts and testimony, which can be difficult to defend against, especially for a defendant who does not have an attorney.
If you have been charged with domestic assault, disorderly conduct or any other crime, do not attempt to represent yourself. Retain an experienced criminal defense attorney who can negotiate with the prosecution on your behalf and, if necessary, take your case to trial.
