Domestic Violence

New Haven Domestic Violence Lawyer

Allegations of family violence or spousal abuse can be very emotional because they involve accusations by loved ones. When faced with this difficult scenario, it is important to hire an attorney who understands the emotions involved with domestic violence, someone who can give you solid legal advice about your rights under Connecticut law.

The State of Connecticut charges many people with domestic violence each year, and with so many resources being put into prosecution of these cases, you need a lawyer who will always remain focused on your defense. At the New Haven, Connecticut, Law Offices of Diane Polan, LLC, I am an experienced trial attorney with 28 years of experience defending people accused of domestic violence and violation of protective orders. I graduated from Yale Law School and also taught trial skills there. I will take aggressive and decisive action to preserve your rights.

If you know that you are being investigated for a crime, please retain an attorney as soon as possible. Also, please be aware that you do not have to talk to the police and you do not have to let them into your home unless they have a search warrant. In my experience as a criminal defense attorney, it never helps your case to speak with the police.

The Stakes Are High: Hire an Experienced Attorney

Domestic violence allegations are very serious. In Connecticut, even if a person is innocent of the underlying domestic issue, they can still be convicted of a felony if they violate a protective order or a civil restraining order. This can mean a substantial period of time in jail.

When I take your domestic violence or violation of protective order case, I will work with you from day one. Criminal charges are serious and I will fight for your rights aggressively.
