Domestic Violence

Washington Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer

Sound Advice, Zealous Representation

At Jensen Legal, we have aggressively defended people against domestic violence allegations and restraining order violations for almost 20 years. Our experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system can be a valuable benefit in your defense.

What to Do If You Are Arrested for Domestic Violence

If you are arrested for domestic assault, spousal abuse or any other form of domestic violence:

1) Cooperate with the police. Yelling or fighting will make an already bad situation a lot worse.

2) Do not admit to anything or sign any statements without talking to a lawyer first.

3) Stay away from the house and do not violate any outstanding no-contact orders. If you do, you will face additional charges of violating a judge's orders on top of the original domestic violence charge.

4) Contact an experienced, aggressive criminal defense lawyer right away. The sooner you get a lawyer, the sooner the attorney can get involved in your defense.

Attorney Kris Jensen has years of criminal defense experience, as well as experience as a judge pro tem in Washington courts, and he can help defend your rights against allegations of domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Legal Services

Jensen Legal, in Seattle, handles domestic violence cases, such as:

• Violation of restraining order
• Violation of no-contact orders
• Domestic assault and battery
• Spousal abuse
• Sexual abuse
• Child abuse

In our experience, some domestic violence charges are based on false accusations. A woman might be intimidated or scared by her husband or boyfriend and call the police to take him away. This may not necessarily be a legitimate case of domestic violence, so we carefully examine the facts and evidence in each case to determine if the charges should be dropped due to false allegations.

No matter if your domestic violence charge is the result of valid abuse or a false accusation, we can provide aggressive, tenacious representation. Our experience and skill may make the difference between dropped charges and a conviction.
