Domestic Violence

Washington, D.C., Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer

At Frederick J. Brynn, P.C., we recognize how devastating the problem of domestic abuse is in America. Since opening our doors in 1993, our firm has been a strong advocate for laws that protect the spouses and children who suffer physical and emotional harm because of violence in the home. In an effort to protect victims, however, we must also be careful that innocent people are not wrongfully charged, based on false claims or misperceptions.

Effective criminal defense since 1993

Our attorneys have the experience and resources of a network of independent professionals to thoroughly investigate domestic violence charges. We don't believe in blaming the victim but, in our experience, many domestic abuse charges stem from anger or revenge arising from emotional disputes in a current or former relationship. Our first line of defense will be to look closely at the factors that led to the charges. Often, we can find legitimate reasons to have the charges dropped or reduced.

We fight alternatives to jail

If there are valid reasons for a domestic violence charge against you, we can help you fight for a penalty that will get you the therapy help you need, without jail time. In some cases, successful completion of an education or awareness program will result in a record expungement. Our main priorities are always to keep you out of jail and protect your future from a criminal conviction.
