If you have been arrested and charged with domestic violence or violating a protection from abuse (PFA) order, you may feel pre-judged, labeled and up against a biased system.

For a free consultation focused on your individual situation and options, please contact us today.
Uncovering and Bringing Forth Key Circumstances in Your Case
We bring a combination of strong criminal law and family law knowledge to your defense against a domestic violence charge. Mr. Oncale's experience with divorce and custody cases provides valuable, practical perspective on situations in which:
- Domestic violence allegations are false or exaggerated
- Physical altercations arise from disagreements between people who are both passionate
- A spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend pursues domestic violence charges out of anger, revenge or motivation to gain leverage in a divorce or custody dispute
- PFA orders are obtained relatively quickly and easily — and then violated either unknowingly or in the heat of passion

While it is critical to take any domestic violence charge seriously — and penalties can be harsh and far-reaching — a lawyer such as Shane Oncale may see practical legal options you did not know you had.
