Domestic Violence

Taking Your Side in Domestic Violence Cases

When disputes within a family turn into accusations of violence, the results can be devastating. Domestic violence charges are treated very seriously and the consequences can range from a temporary restraining order to years in prison.

If you have been charged with spousal abuse, sexual assault or another form of domestic violence, talk to an experienced criminal defense attorney. I am Colleen A. Dunbar, and I have represented clients accused of domestic violence for over three decades. I understand the seriousness of these charges and how to build a strong defense on your behalf. Please contact me today to learn what I can do for you.

Standing Up for You

The general rule of domestic abuse situations is that if the police are called, someone will be arrested. Often, the accused will still be prosecuted, even if the accuser changes his or her story. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you deserve a lawyer who will stand up for your rights. I am that attorney.

Understanding Your Case From All Angles

A great deal of my practice involves divorce and family law issues. I have handled cases where one spouse or parent was accused of domestic assault. As such, I understand your case from both sides of the issue. This gives me a unique insight, and helps me build a stronger case for you.
