What happens when you're arrested for domestic violence, but you're actually the victim?
It's a complicated situation, especially when there's a history of abuse in the relationship.
Even if your charges are dismissed, that doesn't necessarily mean the other person will face charges. And it's important to understand who has the authority to make that decision.
Attorney Lacey Thompson explains why these situations can be difficult to navigate and what people should understand about the criminal justice process.
Facing a domestic violence charge? Our team is here to listen, not judge.

Being released on bond comes with responsibilities that extend beyond your next court date.

Your conditions may address travel, contact with certain people, or other restrictions. Read your paperwork carefully and ask your attorney about anything you don’t understand.

If a condition creates a problem for work or family responsibilities, talk with your attorney about the proper process for requesting a change. Don’t assume you can make an exception yourself.

Thompson & Hiller Defense Firm can help you understand what your bond requires.

You may hear your attorney use the word “discovery.” What does it mean?

Discovery is the process used to obtain certain evidence and information in a criminal case. Depending on the case and applicable rules, that can include recordings, photographs, statements, and test results.

Reviewing those materials helps a defense attorney evaluate the prosecution’s case, identify questions, and prepare a defense.

At Thompson & Hiller Defense Firm, examining the details is an essential part of the work.

Meeting with a defense attorney for the first time? You don’t need to know the legal terminology or have every detail perfectly organized.

Bring any paperwork you received, upcoming court dates, and the questions keeping you up at night. Be ready to talk honestly about what happened, including the details you’re uncomfortable sharing.

That conversation helps your attorney understand your situation and explain the next steps.

What does “beyond a reasonable doubt” really mean?

Every juror brings different life experiences and perspectives into the courtroom. Attorney Lacey Thompson explains how those differences can affect the way jurors evaluate reasonable doubt and why reaching a unanimous verdict can sometimes take time.

What exactly is a directed verdict motion?
After the State presents its evidence and rests its case, the defense can ask the judge for a directed verdict.
Associate Attorney Caroline Latimer explains what the defense is arguing when making this motion and what happens if the judge grants it.
It’s a quick look at an important part of the criminal trial process that you may have heard about but never fully understood.
