Case Description

Our client was charged with simple battery involving family violence under O.C.G.A. 16-5-23(F) in Gwinnett County State Court. Family violence charges carry serious implications beyond typical battery charges, including potential impacts on gun ownership rights, employment opportunities, and family court matters. The case required careful handling due to the specific nature of family violence allegations.

Legal Strategy

Our defense approach focused on a comprehensive investigation of the incident, examination of witness statements, and analysis of any physical evidence. We worked to understand the full context of the alleged incident and identify any mitigating factors or procedural issues that could benefit our client. Our strategy also involved preparing for potential plea negotiations while building a strong foundation for trial if necessary.

Challenges

Family violence cases present unique challenges due to their sensitive nature and the specific legal consequences associated with these charges. The prosecution often pursues these cases aggressively, and the social stigma associated with family violence allegations can impact multiple aspects of a defendant's life. Additionally, Georgia law provides specific protections and considerations for alleged victims of family violence, which can complicate the defense process.
