Building a Strong Defense in Nevada Battery Domestic Violence Charges
People accused of battery domestic violence often have reason to think that the system is stacked against them. While the basic rule in criminal law is supposed to be "innocent until proven guilty," in cases involving domestic violence charges it can sometimes feel like "guilty unless proven innocent."
A successful defense of a battery domestic violence charge is possible. At Pezzillo Robinson, P.C., we have successfully defended numerous clients accused of domestic violence and other criminal charges. We represent clients in greater Las Vegas, Clark County and throughout southern Nevada.

Aggressive Defense against Domestic Violence Charges
Many allegations of spousal abuse or assault - especially false allegations - occur during the divorce process or child custody disputes. A police officer arriving on the scene may have no knowledge of this context unless there is already a restraining order against someone in the household. Nevertheless, when police are called to the scene of a family violence complaint, an arrest is mandatory.
At Pezzillo Robinson, our first job is to separate fact from fiction. We will begin the defense process by investigating the events leading up to the arrest. We will go through the police report with a fine-toothed comb, looking for discrepancies in the facts or other evidence that could help us challenge the case against you. If necessary, we will interview witnesses and collect additional information.
An estimated 60 to 70% of domestic violence charges are based on testimony alone. An experienced criminal defense lawyer, the lead attorney of our criminal defense practice, George Robinson, knows how to interview the complainant, the arresting officer and other witnesses. He is an aggressive trial lawyer who will work to build a strong and effective defense on your behalf.
