Former Prosecutor. Strategic Domestic Violence Defense.

Domestic violence cases are complex. Emotions often run high, and allegations may arise during heated family disputes, separations, or custody conflicts. In some situations, self-defense or mutual confrontation may play a significant role in the events leading to an arrest.

As a former prosecutor, Seattle criminal defense attorney Steve Karimi understands how domestic violence cases are investigated and presented in court. He carefully examines the facts, witness statements, body-camera footage, prior history, and the credibility of allegations to build the strongest possible defense strategy.

Understanding How Domestic Violence Cases Are Prosecuted

In many cases, prosecutors move forward even if the alleged victim does not wish to proceed. No-contact orders are frequently issued immediately and may prevent you from returning home or communicating with family members.

Domestic violence allegations can significantly affect:

  • Your freedom and potential jail exposure
  • Firearm rights
  • Child custody and family law proceedings
  • Immigration status
  • Employment and professional licensing

Because of these serious consequences, it is essential to work with an attorney who understands both the criminal and collateral implications of a domestic violence charge.

Protect Your Rights and Your Future

Every domestic violence case is fact-specific. A thorough investigation may reveal weaknesses in the prosecution's case, inconsistencies in statements, lack of corroborating evidence, or viable defenses.
