An article in the Hartford Courant states that the Hartford police have created a new domestic violence unit to attempt to reduce the high rate of domestic violence offenses. Statistics show that domestic violence accounted for one third of the aggravated assaults in the City in 2009. Domestic violence offenses have also risen in Massachusetts as reported by the Boston Globe.
In Massachusetts, domestic assault and battery crimes are treated extremely seriously in courts throughout Massachusetts. In some cases in Norfolk County in particular, district attorneys are specifically assigned to handle charges of Massachusetts domestic assault and battery. District attorneys are extremely reluctant to dismiss charges of domestic assault and battery and will attempt to prove the charges even if the complaining witness refuses to cooperate with the district attorneys office.
If you are charged with domestic assault and battery in Massachusetts, you should call Attorney DelSignore to protect your rights, to ensure you understand the charges against you and the defenses to your case. You can speak to Attorney DelSignore immediately by calling 508-455-4755 or 781-686-5924 or by sending an email through this website.
