Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, P.C.

The expectation of being accused of a crime is enough to create anxiety and dread. You are never ready for the moment that the police show up and place you in handcuffs. Even after being taken to the police station and placed in limbo, waiting to be charged formally or released, it becomes overwhelming. You may feel like you are stuck in a bad dream, and your first instinct is to say anything to make them release you. However, saying anything would be a mistake. You should first seek legal help from a seasoned Chicago criminal attorney before speaking to the police. Keep quiet after being accused and your Chicago domestic abuse attorney will arrange your release. Also, do not share your case with anybody, including police officers. Law enforcement officials have increased their efforts on domestic violence allegations. This is because pro-prosecution political pressure on allegations of domestic violence involving a husband or wife, cohabitant, or coparent has increased. Such incidents are a common base for incorrect or exaggerated charges, especially during a divorce, separation, or child custody dispute or as a weapon against an ex-spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend. While this is a serious issue, sometimes law enforcement and prosecutors are so aggressive that they charge and prosecute the alleged abuser even when the alleged victim does not want to pursue the case.
