What Can A Defense Lawyer Do For Me?

Are you facing charges for domestic violence in Seattle? If so, you may be considering what a defense attorney can do for you. There are numerous benefits to hiring a lawyer, regardless of your situation. In Washington, you can be charged with domestic violence for a number of crimes such as:

• Assault
• Stalking or Harassment
• Kidnapping
• Malicious Mischief
• Interfering with Reporting of Domestic Violence
• And more!

All of these crimes carry serious penalties that can have long lasting effects on your ability to find work, apply for loans and even get child custody. A lawyer can help you fight your charges as well as answer your questions every step of the way. For many domestic violence suspects, this is their first experience with the law. They may be unsure of how to handle the situation and what kind of sentence they can expect. An experienced defense lawyer, like Steve Karimi, will explain everything you need to know about the process as well as what your defense options are.

Why Do I Need an Experienced Lawyer?

The only way that you will be able to fight your domestic violence charges is to have a defense. The stronger and more convincing the defense is, the more likely it is to convince the jury that you are not guilty. Additionally, having a solid defense and a competent attorney on your side can benefit you before you even go to court – in some cases it may even help you avoid it. If the DA knows that you have a good chance of winning your case, they may reduce your charges or offer you a plea bargain.  A plea bargain is a deal that the defendant and prosecutor make in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for receiving a lighter sentence then they could otherwise expect if found guilty. This means that even someone who wants to plead guilty could benefit from the assistance of a domestic violence defense lawyer.

Hiring an experienced and hardworking attorney can have a huge impact on your case. Only a lawyer who has dealt with Seattle domestic violence cases before will know the best way to handle your case. Attorney Steve Karimi not only has extensive experience in this area of the law, he is also a former prosecutor so he understands how the other side thinks. He will stop at nothing to make sure that you have the strongest defense possible.
