Philadelphia Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers

Philadelphia Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers

The Philadelphia domestic violence defense lawyers at Shuttleworth Law P.C. know how terrifying it is to be labeled an “abuser.” The sad reality is that people make false accusations every day, leading to an unfair arrest and damage to your reputation, not to mention the penalties on the line if prosecutors can get a conviction. If you hire our legal team to represent your case, we will put over 15 years of hard-won, hands-on success behind it so that you get the results you deserve.

“The first thing I tell most people arrested for domestic violence is that their charges are defensible. It may not look like it now, but when you start digging into things like police reports, witness statements, and the accuser’s so-called physical evidence, you may start finding cracks in their story. I live for finding these instances and presenting them at, what I think is, the most impactful moment.”

Brad V. Shuttleworth, Esq.

I got the dreaded Strike 3 Holdings letter from my ISP a month ago. Obviously, freaked out but did my research online trying to find a good attorney who could help me. Spoke to about 4 or 5 of the usual suspects you'll see when you do a google search.

Brad was the ONLY one who facilitated a face to face meeting online over Google Meet. I knew after speaking with him that I wanted him to represent me in this matter. He just seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. A couple of the other attorneys I spoke to had poor responsiveness which is alarming when that happens BEFORE you pay to retain their services. I'm not in the same state as he is but that did not matter.Brad was able to work with the other party and get this issue resolved fairly and quickly.
Thank You!

Brad represented me in a case recently and put me completely at ease throughout the process. My case had been hanging over my head for nearly a year, based on false claims. When Brad reviewed my case with me, he sensed how distressed I was about the situation and went out of his way to completely put me at ease. I had never been part of a legal process before and I'm a generally anxious person. Brad's confidence in his abilities allowed me to remain relaxed and for that I am eternally grateful.

Brad's performance in the trial was swift, calculated, and methodical. In what seemed like just a few minutes, Brad picked apart the claimants case against me, and the judge swiftly ruled in my favor. A year of anxiety gone! Brad is well worth the money spent and I recommend him without reservation.

Shuttleworth Law P.C. Protects Those Accused of Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is never okay, but neither are false accusations. Data collected between 1998 and 2007 in Boston found that 5.9 percent of domestic violence accusations are false. You don’t have to be someone who accepts responsibility for a crime you didn’t commit or goes unproven by the justice system.

The Philadelphia domestic violence defense lawyers at Shuttleworth Law P.C. have defended those accused of committing the following acts:

  • Assault
  • Bodily harm
  • Sex offenses
  • Intimidation
  • False imprisonment
  • Stalking
  • Strangulation
  • Terroristic threats
  • Other forms of domestic violence

If charged with a domestic abuse offense, you should consult with our legal team as soon as possible. Pennsylvania allows for severe penalties, including prison, fines, custody losses, and more. Shuttleworth Law P.C. will investigate the allegations against you and develop an effective defensive strategy.

Family Members Can File Domestic Charges Against You

Pennsylvania allows domestic violence victims to get a Protection From Abuse (PFA) Order. They contain rules against abuse. However, the evidentiary standards required to get one are much lower than, say, going to a criminal trial, meaning that your family member only needs to prove that domestic abuse or violence is more likely than not to have happened.

While this standard is great for protecting victims, it could lead to false accusations. If a family member files domestic charges against you, our legal team will defend against:

  • Dating partners (current or former)
  • Biological parent of a shared child
  • Spouses (current or former)
  • Domestic partners (current or former)
  • Parents
  • Children (Adopted, biological, and stepchildren)

Few things are more stressful than hurtful domestic violence accusations. You are not the sum of where you stand today. If you hire Shuttleworth Law P.C. to represent your case, we will not hold back when clearing your name and clearing your charges.

Domestic Violence Penalties Are Severe

It is essential to have legal representation when facing criminal charges. There is already too much at stake. Our Philadelphia domestic violence defense lawyers will help you fight back with investigatory resources, experience, and legal knowledge so that you get the outcomes you deserve.

You could lose the following rights after a domestic violence conviction:

  • Voting rights
  • Custody rights
  • Firearms rights
  • Right to remain at liberty
  • Other rights

Do not enter a guilty plea if you do not want to lose these rights. Hire the legal team at Shuttleworth Law P.C. to push back against false or unproven accusations. We will meticulously document your case and preserve evidence so that you have a strong legal defense at every critical moment in your case.
