Domestic Assault

Domestic Assault Lawyer

If you have been charged with a domestic assault it is likely the judge has ordered a no contact order between you and the alleged victim.  Often, with the alleged victim's request, we can have the no contact order lifted. It is often difficult to stay away from your spouse, significant other, or family. However, if you have been charged with domestic violence or have been served with a restraining order, you have been asked to do so. I am Judith A. Samson, Attorney at Law, and I understand the challenges my clients face. I recognize that often times, domestic assault charges result from misunderstandings, false accusations, or marital problems. I recognize that you are not a bad person but may face a destructive future reputation due to unwarranted allegations. I strive to preserve your reputation and your criminal record.

Domestic Assault Representation

In Minnesota, domestic violence can be charged as misdemeanor assault and battery. As such, one may face misdemeanor assault penalties if convicted. However, the stigma, reputation, and family consequences that may result are often far worse than the potential criminal penalties. As an experienced domestic assault defense attorney, I evaluate the full picture and strategize the defense accordingly, such as:

• Is there any truth to the incident?
• Have prior orders for protection (OFP) been filed?
• Does the individual have a history of filing unwarranted OFP's?
• Does the individual have a history of making false accusations or of being dishonest?
• Does the individual wish to have contact again with my client?
• Is the individual recanting their story?
