Aggressive Defense against Domestic Violence Charges in Knoxville
Although domestic violence is not uncommon, it is taken very seriously in our state, with harsh penalties on conviction. If an incident of domestic violence is reported to the authorities, the police will arrest and charge someone, whether or not the alleged victim wants to press charges.
As police are generally not present during domestic violence incidents, they frequently take the word of one person against another, along with any physical evidence of violence. Domestic violence does not only occur between husband and wife.
