Huntsville domestic violence defense attorney and PFA lawyer

Two stick figures, one patting the other on the shoulder.

Domestic Violence Charges in Alabama

Domestic cases can involve assault, harassment, menacing, or stalking when a family or dating relationship exists. Penalties escalate from misdemeanor to felony based on facts and history. Arrests often include no-contact orders and bond conditions that affect housing and parenting. Yarbrough Law Firm moves quickly to address court orders and build a defense focused on dismissals, reductions, or wins at trial.

Protection From Abuse (PFA) Orders

A PFA is a civil order that can remove you from a home, restrict contact, and affect firearms and employment. Temporary orders can issue fast, with a hearing set soon after. Showing up with evidence and counsel matters. We prepare texts, call logs, witnesses, and timelines to contest false claims and to seek fair, workable terms when appropriate. For broader support across your case, learn about our criminal defense approach and how it aligns court strategy with practical life needs.

When an accusation turns into next steps, we explain your options, set a clear plan, and work to resolve your domestic case efficiently and fairly.

Defending Domestic Allegations

We test the state’s proof for inconsistencies, motives, and credibility gaps. When self-defense or defense of others applies, we present it clearly with photos, messages, and witness accounts. We also seek modifications to no-contact orders for child exchanges or essential communication. If accusations spill into a custody dispute, see how we address child custody issues from a defense-informed perspective.

FAQS

Direct answers for urgent situations

  • What should I do if I am falsely accused?

    Do not contact the accuser. Follow temporary orders and call a lawyer. Save messages and names of witnesses.

  • Can a victim drop charges?

    The case belongs to the state. A reluctant witness can help, but prosecutors decide. We work to dismiss or reduce where the evidence is weak.

  • What is the difference between a PFA and a no-contact order?

    A PFA is civil and can last longer with broader relief. A no-contact order often comes from the criminal case. We help you navigate both.

  • Will this affect my gun rights or custody?

    A conviction or certain orders can impact firearms and parenting. Early, strong defense protects both legal and personal interests.
