Lexington Domestic Violence Attorney
Criminal Defense Attorney in South Carolina
Criminal Domestic Violence, or CDV, is one of the most serious and prolific criminal violations in
South Carolina. A CDV arrest can arise out of a seemingly minor or insignificant
incident once the police have become involved.
The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, located in Lexington, South Carolina, can help you or your loved one
after a misdemeanor or felony level domestic violence arrest.
CDV Charges are different than other criminal charges. There is frequently
a no contact bond order put in place that can subject you to 30 days or
more in jail for simply just talking or e-mailing your spouse or significant
other. Additionally there is a no drop policy that will prevent law enforcement
or the Court from dismissing your case - even upon the request of the
alleged victim. A conviction may result in a jail sentence, even for a
first offense, and all convictions come with a publicly available criminal record.
We recognize that frequently CDV arrests come as a result of a situation
being blown out of proportion, or are made due to an error of judgment
by law enforcement. Arrests result even in circumstances where no one
was injured - and even when the one arrested originally called the police.
We fight hard for our clients to prevent them from being labeled a criminal
due to false, misleading or inaccurate allegations. James Snell is an
experienced
South Carolina Criminal Defense Attorney who has represented numerous clients charged with
CDV.
