Providing personalized attention. Mr. Ramos handles every case personally. You benefit from his decades of experience and attention to detail.

What Domestic Violence Means in Arizona

Arizona law defines domestic violence broadly. It is not limited to disputes between spouses or partners. It can involve family members, roommates, former partners, or non-blood relatives. It is not restricted to physical harm.

Domestic violence charges can arise from:

Physical abuse
Sexual abuse
Emotional or verbal abuse
Economic control
Neglect

Charges can range from intimidation or disorderly conduct all the way up to assault with a weapon or even kidnapping.

Penalties are just as far-reaching. A conviction can mean probation, mandatory counseling, loss of firearm rights, or years in prison. And unlike other types of charges, domestic violence allegations are not automatically dropped if the accuser changes their mind or refuses to testify. Prosecutors can move forward, and only a judge can dismiss the case.

Restraining Orders & Protective Orders

In many domestic violence cases, the court may issue a restraining order or protective order against the accused, sometimes immediately after an arrest. These orders may prevent you from returning to your own home, restrict your ability to see or communicate with your children, and limit your contact with the accuser or other family members.

Violating a protective order, even unintentionally, can lead to additional criminal charges and harsher penalties. In effect, these orders can feel like a punishment before your case is even resolved. An experienced attorney is essential to challenge unfair restrictions and protect your rights while your case progresses.

Defenses to Domestic Violence Charges

Domestic violence cases can move fast; without legal representation, you risk losing control of your future. Ramos Law Firm takes immediate steps to protect your rights and begin building your defense.

Depending on the facts of your case, we may argue that:

You acted in self-defense
The incident was accidental, not intentional
The accuser fabricated or exaggerated the allegations
The evidence is insufficient or unreliable
You were not the aggressor

Mr. Ramos knows how prosecutors handle these cases and is prepared to challenge their evidence, question their witnesses, and pursue strategies to achieve optimum results.
