Domestic Violence

Skilled, Experienced Defense Against Connecticut Domestic Violence Charges

A criminal conviction can change everything. If you have been arrested for breach of peace, threatening, harassment, assault, stalking, strangulation or risk of injury to a minor in Connecticut, you have much more to worry about than your reputation. You must consider whether you will have the freedom to see your family and children, whether this arrest will affect your job, and whether it will lead to serious penalties like GPS monitoring imprisonment.

You may think it is impossible, but you can get your life back on track with the right Connecticut criminal defense team. You need a domestic violence defense lawyer who understands the complexities of the case against you and the nuances of your defense. You can find the help you need by contacting The Maddox Law Firm.

Working To Protect Your Rights And Freedoms Throughout The Process

A great criminal defense attorney can also be the difference between you being subject to a protective order, also referred to as a restraining order, or there being none. A judge can issue an order for up to five years if it is necessary to protect the victim.

Our lawyers provide risk assessment and recommendations for how to protect yourself from prosecution or from future charges. You can also learn how to help your family and children cope during this difficult period in their lives.

The Maddox Law Firm has the authority you need to reclaim yourself and your reputation with family, friends, and employers. You always have a right to a trial and to force the state to prove charges against you beyond a reasonable doubt. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is not an easy concept and is widely misunderstood – even by lawyers. It is the threshold that the state or federal government must cross for a defendant to be found guilty.

  I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Excellent Law Firm—they are always first in mind for basically any legal service you can think of, but most importantly is the high level of professionalism and communication. I recently had a potential legal issue and called on a late weekend afternoon. Immediately one of their attorneys (Jessica) called me back and talked me through everything, and gave me excellent advice. She continued to follow up with me throughout the entire situation and couldn’t have been more pleasant. I highly recommend seeking their advice or counsel…there is a reason their reviews are so high! It is also a huge bonus they have offices across CT, so they really have  great grasp on the laws here and know and understand their community.

  I was referred to The Maddox Law Firm on the Saturday Night of July 4th holiday weekend with a pressing personal family issue.  Matthew Maddox immediately accepted my call and provided me with exceptional advice.  He followed up with me on Sunday AND Monday to make sure my family was protected.  His empathy, guidance and follow up was truly remarkable.  I unequivocally recommend Matthew and his firm to anyone who is looking for a premier family lawyer.

  Matthew went above and beyond! His honesty and focus on my son’s best interest is what did it for me. He spoke to my son in a direct manner and for that I’m grateful. It’s not about the business aspect for him. He cares! From the bottom of my heart… thank you.

  A really good friend recommended The Maddox Law Firm, Inc.  I was very pleased with their compassion and understanding from the moment I stepped in to their offices.  They listened to every word expressed by me and provided such great advice without pushing you to make decisions right away.   I received follow up calls, just to check in on me.  Not once, but a few times.  I highly recommend The Maddox Law Firm if you're looking for a team that's going to go all out for you!
