The Consequences of a Domestic Violence Charge
Even without a conviction, these cases can result in:
- Being forced to leave your home
- Losing access to children or family members
- Protective orders that restrict where you can go

- Job loss or damage to your reputation
- Jail time and permanent criminal records if convicted
A single accusation can spiral quickly — and your defense needs to move just as fast.
How Farra Law Defends Domestic Violence Cases
Matt Farra’s defense strategy is built around careful investigation, legal precision, and protecting your side of the story.
We Defend Against:
- False accusations or exaggeration
- Charges filed during divorce or custody disputes
- Cases with no physical evidence
We Build Strong Defenses By:
- Reviewing all evidence, text messages, calls, and statements
- Cross-examining witness credibility
- Examining motive and context (custody, revenge, confusion)
- Filing motions to suppress weak or unlawfully obtained evidence
- Advocating in both criminal court and DVO hearings
Emergency Protection Orders (EPO) & Domestic Violence Orders (DVO)
You may be served with a protective order before you’re even charged with a crime. These orders can:
- Force you out of your home
- Restrict contact with loved ones
- Prohibit you from owning firearms
- Affect custody and visitation
Farra Law provides urgent representation for DVO hearings — don’t go in alone. The outcome can affect your future long after the hearing is over.
Can Domestic Violence Charges Be Dropped?
Sometimes. However, even if the alleged victim wants to drop the charges, the prosecutor can still pursue the case.
That’s why you need a lawyer who can:
- Present evidence of false accusations
- Highlight lack of injuries or conflicting statements
- Negotiate dismissals or reduced charges
- Protect your reputation and legal rights at every step
