Re: Domestic Violence

It is usual for the State's Attorney to do everything legally possible to prosecute these types of cases. However, your husband needs an attorney to help guide him through this process, and to speak to witnesses such as yourself who are reluctant to testify. Certainly you need to speak with your husband's attorney as well. You may contact our office for a free initial consultation.
