If you have been falsely accused of committing domestic violence, which is violence or other abuse against another person in a domestic setting, the McConnell Law Firm in Wichita, Kansas, can help.
Led by criminal defense Attorney Jonathan W. McConnell, our firm has extensive experience defending against false domestic violence accusations and charges, which may have been brought against you by your girlfriend/boyfriend or wife/husband.
“The most important thing to do immediately following a false accusation of domestic violence is to contact a criminal defense attorney,” said McConnell. “Every case is different and no conclusions should be drawn without a legal consultation to discuss the specifics of your case. Once an attorney from my team or I review the specifics, we can recommend the best course of action.”
In conjunction with obtaining a criminal defense attorney, you can also:
- Secure your digital presence. To avoid your accuser impersonating you online or digitally, such as by making “threats” as you, it is important to do whatever is needed to secure your digital presence. This could include changing login information to social media accounts, computers and cell phones.
- Protect your money and personal belongings. If your accuser is willing to falsely accuse you, they may also be willing to steal money from you or damage your personal belongings. If that occurs, you will not be as prepared/able to fight your false accusations. Be sure to change your bank account, debit card and credit card information if needed.
- Inform family members and friends of the situation. Unfortunately, false accusations of domestic violence have the power to turn family and friends against you. It is best for them to hear your side of the story as quickly as possible.
- Collect evidence if you are being abused. Sometimes the accuser is actually the abuser. If you are the true victim of domestic violence, gather as much evidence as you can without putting yourself in danger. If needed, contact the authorities or utilize local abuse services.
