Domestic violence is very aggressively prosecuted by the DAs in this area, regardless of the wishes of the "victim" and can lead to severe consequences. Ensure your rights are protected with an experienced domestic violence attorney.

Whether this is your first charge or you have been charged in the past, the attorney you retain can make a difference in the severity of your charge, the sentence you receive, and whether or not a restraining order will be issued against you.

Spousal abuse can permanently affect your ability to return to your home or see your children. If you have been accused or believe that you may be charged with spousal abuse, it is critical that you retain the services of an experienced domestic abuse attorney. At Ritter, Rypel, & Yasin LLP, we can provide you with the skilled representation you need to protect your rights and legal interests.

If you have a domestic violence conviction you may be prohibited from ever possessing a firearm. An initial sentence recommendation for carrying a concealed weapon is often six months in jail. We will investigate the charges and facts in your case to pursue improper search and seizure defenses and seek to suppress any evidence against you.
