Understanding Domestic Violence Charges in Connecticut

- Family members or members of the same household
- Current or former spouses
- Individuals with a child in common, regardless of marital status
- Individuals who have a recent or current dating relationship
Domestic violence charges may include a variety of offenses, from

Effective Defense Strategies for Domestic Violence Cases
omestic violence cases in Connecticut often hinge on evidence that can be subjective, such as witness statements or signs of physical injury. At the Law Offices of Mark M. Kratter, LLC, we take a strategic, evidence-based approach to defending clients accused of domestic violence, including:
- Examining the Evidence: We carefully review police reports, witness statements, and any physical evidence to identify inconsistencies and weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. This thorough approach can help expose false accusations or unreliable testimony.
- Challenging Unreliable Police Techniques: Law enforcement officers are trained to identify signs of domestic violence, but these methods are not always accurate. We question any unreliable police techniques or assumptions, ensuring that the prosecution cannot rely on flawed procedures.
- Exploring Alternative Outcomes: In some cases, we may pursue diversionary programs for eligible clients, such as Connecticut’s Family Violence Education Program, which may lead to dismissal of charges upon completion. Attorney Kratter evaluates all possible options to reduce or eliminate the impact of the charges on your life.
- Preparing for Trial if Necessary: If a favorable outcome cannot be achieved through negotiation, we are prepared to defend your case in court, presenting a thorough and assertive defense to protect your rights and reputation.
