A domestic violence charge in Ann Arbor can impact your family, your job, and your freedom. A conviction carries the possibility of jail time, mandatory counseling, probation, and a permanent criminal record. Due to the sensitive nature of these cases, police often make arrests based solely on an accusation, even with little to no physical evidence.

For over 38 years, Joseph A. Simon has successfully defended clients against domestic violence charges in the 15th District Court and Washtenaw County Trial Court. We understand that these situations are highly emotional and that false or exaggerated allegations can occur during family disputes or divorce proceedings.

Our defense strategies include examining the credibility of the accuser, seeking out independent witnesses, and identifying self-defense scenarios. When appropriate, we also explore diversion programs that can keep a conviction off your public record.

If you have been accused of domestic violence, do not speak to the police without legal representation. Contact the Law Offices of Joseph A. Simon at (734) 887-6200 for a free, confidential consultation.
