Protecting Yourself From Domestic Charges in Maryland
We have all been in arguments that escalated beyond what we intended. Some people yell, some walk away and others don't know how to handle their anger. Unfortunately, if your anger got the best of you during an argument, you may now be facing criminal charges for domestic assault.
If that is the situation you are in, you are probably worried about the consequences you are facing. At The Law Offices of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates, LLC, we are committed to helping individuals protect their freedom and family relationships. We have years of experience providing aggressive litigation throughout Maryland, and we can use our experience to protect your best interests.
Protecting Your Rights if You Were Arrested
One of the most important things to remember if you were arrested for domestic violence is that any statement you make can be used against you. In the early stages of a case, a well-meaning individual can break his or her case by inadvertently saying the wrong thing to the police. Experienced Baltimore domestic violence attorneys can help protect your rights and keep your record clean.
If you have been arrested, it is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Once you contact us, we can help prevent the situation from getting worse. If your case goes to criminal court, the ramifications can be even more severe, including:
- Getting thrown out of your home
- Losing custody of your children
- Paying emergency support to your family
- Turning in firearms
- Giving your car to your spouse
