Whether it starts with a few drinks and a few not so carefully chosen words and then escalates into a few punches, or it starts and ends with just a small push—if a domestic abuse call is placed and police arrive at the scene, more likely than not and even if the allegations are false, someone is going to be arrested. 

Ciccarelli Law offices defense individual charged with acts of domestic violence in the Chester County Pennsylvania area.    Our Chester County criminal lawyers have been handling domestic assault and spousal abuse cases in this area for more than 25 years and know how to help clients avoid having these charges lead to a permanent mark on their criminal record. 

Lee A. Ciccarelli has successfully defended clients against domestic violence charges such as:  simple assault, terrorist threats, harassment and stalking, protection from abuse and PFA violations, invasion of privacy, and repeated unwanted telephone or email contacts.  

Because prosecutors do not need the alleged victim to testify or cooperate, and because not every case has a dismissal of charges or an acquittal as a realistic option, having an attorney with established credibility and a reputation for success at trial can be an invaluable asset in these matters. If this is your first arrest for domestic violence, there is a good chance that our attorney can get you placed into a diversion program that will keep a conviction off your record. If not, and if the prosecution has a strong case, Lee Ciccarelli and our Criminal Defense Team will use their skills as litigators and negotiators in order to postpone matters long enough that your case, and you, can be put in the best possible light. 

No two cases are the same, but our experience and commitment to case preparation can have a strong bearing on how your case turns out. Where possible, we will involve defense investigators and other experts in preparing your defense. We work with the client in establishing what their particular goals and desires are in a serious criminal case and will work with them in establishing a defense plan. In many cases, early initiative in developing and executing your defense strategy can play a key role in the ultimate outcome of the case.
