Domestic Abuse Charges Can Haunt You Forever

Domestic abuse is emotional, physical, or sexual abuse that stem from disputes involving married couples, parents and children, cohabitating partners, siblings, or other close relations. Domestic abuse charges in New Hampshire can result in a criminal record that follows you throughout the rest of your life, often without regard to the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Attorney Ryan Russman's aggressive criminal defense will do everything possible to minimize consequence to your freedom and reputation.

In New Hampshire, there are a wide variety of charges you can face that fall under the umbrella of "intentional wrongdoing." If you've been charged with domestic violence, you need a criminal law attorney like Ryan Russman who understands how prosecutors approach the case.

Charged with Assault and Battery?

Attorney Russman understands the delicate nuances of criminal law that can make the difference between a six-month probation and ten years in prison.

If you've been charged with assault and battery, you need a savvy criminal law attorney who can prevent damaging evidence from being introduced and ensure that you have the opportunity to prepare your defense.

Assault and battery are often confused due to similarities in their definition. Both involve harmful or offensive contact, but battery involves actual contact without consent. For instance, threatening harm against another individual with a weapon is by definition an assault.

The threat goes a step farther and becomes battery when a weapon makes contact with the victim; in this instance, a lawsuit of both assault and battery may be pursued. It’s important to note that use of the weapon without physical contact, such as throwing an object unsuccessfully, is not battery.

Violent Crimes ... Sex Crimes

Prosecutors often rely on the passion and intensity of the jury to obtain a conviction in violent crimes and sex crimes, portraying and protecting the accuser before establishing the guilt of the accused.

Without the right criminal law attorney working to defend you, you can quickly find yourself being required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life, with the stigma of the conviction following you wherever you go.

It is critical to protect your rights from the moment you are arrested or charged with a violent crime or a sex crime.

Choosing the right attorney can be crucial to the success of your case. You want someone with both an in-depth knowledge of the New Hampshire law as well as years of trial experience. Ryan Russman has the knowledge and experience you need to reduce your charges and negotiate terms that let you keep your life intact.
