[GRAPHIC: Domestic Violence]
JAMES E. TYNER: Emotions are the most complicating factor of a domestic violence charge. Not only do the people involved frequently know each other, but often they're married or in a committed relationship. And that makes things much more complicated.
[GRAPHIC: Don't let your case SNOWBALL out of control.]
MARK J. SACCO: One of the reasons it's important to hire an attorney at the beginning of a domestic violence case is because the case can snowball out of control. The first time that you go to court and are charged with a crime, the judge often issues an order of protection.
JAMES E. TYNER: If an order of protection is issued in your case and you contact the person you're prohibited from contacting, even for something as simple as calling to check on your children, you may be in violation of the order of protection, which can lead to more serious charges being filed.
[GRAPHIC: What's at stake?]
JAMES E. TYNER: The stakes in a domestic violence case are astronomical. Your job, your future, and even your family life may be at risk. At this firm, we aggressively defend people's rights. We investigate cases and listen to our clients and refuse to resolve a case until we're certain we've achieved the best result possible.
MARK J. SACCO: It's our obligation to pursue your case until the end. And if that means taking your case to trial, that's what we'll do.
