Understanding Domestic Violence Charges In Kansas
In Kansas, domestic violence includes any criminal offense involving violence or physical harm – or the threat of such harm – committed by one family or household member against another. This includes but is not limited to acts of:
- Assault
- Battery
- Aggravated assault
- Aggravated battery
- Sexual assault
- Stalking
- Criminal restraint
- Violations of protective orders
A conviction can carry significant legal and personal consequences, including fines, jail time and a permanent criminal record, alongside potential protective orders. Many people make statements to law enforcement without understanding their legal rights, potentially damaging their defense before speaking with an attorney. A calculated legal strategy from our experienced lawyers can make a difference in preserving your freedom and future.
Building Your Defense Strategy
Each domestic violence case requires careful examination of evidence and circumstances. The prosecution must prove every element beyond a reasonable doubt. Our defense approach includes:
- Thorough investigation of all evidence, including witness statements, physical evidence and police reports
- Evaluation of constitutional rights violations during arrest or evidence collection
- Assessment of self-defense claims and other legal justifications
- Identification of inconsistencies in witness testimony
- Analysis of any prior history between involved parties
Our attorney, Christopher Brown, has a background as a former prosecutor and can provide valuable perspective in anticipating and countering prosecution strategies.
