North Atlanta, Marietta and Roswell Spousal Abuse Lawyer
When a domestic conflict triggers a call to the police in Georgia, what was once a private or familial matter is now an issue of the State versus the accused. Under the current state and federal law, if law enforcement is called to the scene and finds evidence of violence, someone is going to jail, even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges.
My name is Jeffrey S. Williams. I am an attorney who represents people who are accused of domestic violence (frequently called FVA) assault in North Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and surrounding counties, in domestic violence cases. Often, I am hired by the alleged victim.
The federal government has pushed states to enact severe domestic violence laws. While these laws provide needed protection to victims of assault, they are also abused by people who want to get back at a spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend. Many times, the accuser does not even realize the serious consequences the charge can have.
A conviction on domestic assault charges can affect you for the rest of your life:
- You will have a criminal record.
- You may lose your job.
- Finding a new job will be difficult, as few employers would want to hire someone who has been convicted of a domestic assault charge.
- You will be barred from owning firearms under federal law.
As your lawyer, I will force the state to prove its case against you. In many cases, that can be difficult for the state to do.
