Virginia Domestic Assault Lawyer

Domestic assault, also referred to as domestic violence, spousal abuse, or domestic battery, is an emotional issue that involves entire families, in addition to the individual who has been charged with the crime. Mr. Hicks is an experienced Springfield domestic violence attorney representing those charged with spousal abuse. 95% of the spousal abuse charges are filed against men. The most common situation the law office of Mr. Hicks runs into are instances where the client (the domestic assault defendant) says that the situation was blown out of proportion and that it's "not a big deal" because the wife or domestic partner will drop the charges. The problem lies in the fact that it is not within the spouse's power to drop the charges. Only the prosecutor has the authority to drop the charges. The alleged victim is actually a witness for the state, and can be forced to testify for the prosecution.

Criminal Attorney and Counsellor at Law

The area of domestic assault is an area in which Mr. Hicks takes his dual role of Springfield, VA attorney and counselor at law very seriously. He will often seek to get his client into counseling. This can result in the client being able to convince his wife or partner that he wants to reconcile and result in reuniting the family. In his work as a domestic assault lawyer, Mr. Hicks works to prevent a stupid mistake from ruining a marriage or relationship, while also seeking to help men realize that physical violence is an inappropriate way to engage in marital discourse.
