Domestic Violence Defense

Domestic Crimes Attorney Representation

Domestic violence is a serious crime in the state of Tennessee. The penalties for committing an intimidating or violent act against a member of your family or your spouse can be severe.

Along with jail time and mandatory minimum fines, domestic assault charges often include no contact orders which restrict your ability to even go to your own home.

Tennessee considers current or former spouses, romantic partners, and household members as potential “domestic" victims. Other relationships under this classification include blood, marriage, and adoption.

These charges can destroy your relationships, and false accusations can also be devastating. Whitaker Law Office is here for you every step of the way when dealing with domestic violence charges in the Lebanon, TN area.

Being accused of domestic violence can be confusing and embarrassing. We recommend contacting a lawyer as soon as you realize you’re being investigated. Always have a lawyer present when telling your side of the story and don’t sign any documents or answer questions without one.

Whitaker Law Office can help defend against the following domestic violence charges:

• Rape or sex-based offenses
• Child abuse, neglect, or endangerment
• Kidnapping
• False imprisonment
• Stalking or harassment

Arrests in domestic violence situations are common, as many areas have adopted a zero-tolerance policy; sometimes arrests will be made, first and questions asked later. We believe you have the constitutional right to be innocent until proven guilty.
