If you are charged with a domestic assault and battery, call Attorney DelSignore immediately. Attorney DelSignore has defended countless individuals against domestic assault and battery charges. Many times the victim of an assault and battery charge may have a motive to fabricate the charges in order to get back at the accused.

This sometimes occurred during divorce proceedings, custody disputes or break up of relationships. In addition to potential jail time, a domestic assault and battery charges with it potentially restrictive probation terms including attendance at an anger management program or a certified batter’s program. The certified batter’s program is a very long and intensive program that is time consuming and is a very onerous condition of probation.

Through vigorous preparation of your defense, Attorney DelSignore may be able to have your case dismissed prior to trial. Common defenses in an assault and battery include:

• Self defense; in a self-defense case, a defense attorney can obtain prior violent acts of the alleged victim to argue that the victim was the aggressor. In the case of Commonwealth v. Adjutant, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court allowed criminal defense attorneys to admit this evidence at trial to support a claim of self defense.
• Fabrication by the victim
• Ulterior motivation to lie or try to use the criminal process for some improper purpose.

A domestic assault and battery is a serious criminal charge. If you are charged with a domestic assault and battery do not talk to anyone, call Attorney DelSignore so he can begin preparing your defense, interviewing witnesses and preparing to negotiate a dismiss of the charges with the prosecutor or prepare the case for trial.
