Divorce & Domestic Violence Allegations

Many of our clients come to our office needing a Seattle domestic violence attorney services at the end of a relationship. Allegations of domestic violence are often exaggerated, misconstrued, twisted, or outright fabricated when someone reaches the realization that separation or divorce is pending or necessary. It gets even more complicated when there are children, loved ones, family and finances involved.

Unfortunately, once someone is arrested for domestic violence, the parties become the "victim" and the "primary aggressor" regardless of the history and dynamics of the relationship. Suddenly a no contact order keeps you from your house or children or job. Suddenly the "victim's" prior outrageous behavior is ignored and forgotten. Suddenly, the person who is charged is the only person who is being held accountable and the only person who is obligated to change.
