An allegation of domestic violence is one of the most serious criminal misdemeanors in Ohio due to the penalty and stigma with such charge and conviction. At the beginning it is important to retain legal counsel to defend your life, liberty and reputation. Rutan Law defends people accused of domestic violence throughout the state of Ohio.
In these type of criminal cases it is the State of Ohio against the accused not the alleged victim. This in essence means once charged with domestic violence, it is no longer in the hands of the alleged victim to pursue the charges, but rather a unilateral decision by a prosecutor. Many times, the accuser makes an allegation out of anger, jealousy or ill will and later wishes to withdraw the allegation, but by then it is simply too late. However an alleged victim can influence the outcome of cases so its important to also seek legal advice on how to handle personal issues during the pendency of such cases.
