In cases of domestic violence there can be instances where the alleged victim makes the claim that they have been intimidated. Intimidating a witness is a serious offense, and such charges should not be taken lightly. It is crucial that you contact a Phoenix domestic violence lawyer at once to initiate actions to defend you of this serious criminal offense. At the Davidson Criminal Defense & DUI Law Firm, the legal team has addressed such accusations for clients successfully through an investigation of the facts and exposing the truth of the situation. When two parties are involved in a bitter relationship battle, such accusations are not uncommon; even those who are completely innocent of the charge may face a judge and jury and be obligated to defend themselves if they hope to avoid conviction. Being innocent is not enough; if you are charged with this offense, it indicates that the prosecutor feels they have enough evidence to convict you.
Intimidation in a Domestic Violence Case
When accused of threatening or intimidating, the legal system comes down hard with heavy penalties for those who are convicted of the offense. The legal team at the firm has an impressive record of success in defending clients who have been accused of intimidating and can review your situation and advise you what defense will be employed in your case. There are frequently other matters that can be exposed to get the charges dismissed. An immediate analysis of your case will be done in order to determine how the defense attorney from the firm will assist you in seeking a better outcome on your case. Each case has unique evidence, witness statements and corroborating evidence. In many cases of intimidation, the accusation is based merely on one person’s statement, resulting in a “he said – she said” case. When there is no other evidence other than an accusation of guilt of intimidation, it is often possible to negotiate with the prosecutor and get the charges dismissed or reduced.
