Domestic Violence

Joliet, Illinois Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic violence charges against you call for quality defense representation that looks behind the scenes, reads between the lines and gets to the root causes of allegations that can come between family members in crisis and lead to you having to appear in Domestic Battery court at the Will County Courthouse.

At the Law Office of Steven Haney in Joliet, our experienced, aggressive and knowledgeable approach to protecting your rights is sensitive to the many ways in which the private inner workings of a normally harmonious family can go wrong. A number of nagging side-issues that can contribute to complaints of domestic violence and battery are separation or divorce, arguments over custody matters, job or income loss, or any other source of stress that can cause people to lash out and say things that aren't true.

If your family has been the focus of a heated marital argument or dispute between a parent and child to the degree that domestic battery allegations are made, contact our Joliet, Illinois law office for a free initial consultation with our experienced domestic battery criminal defense lawyer. We'll do all we can to help put your life back on track. We've been doing exactly that for people just like you for over 20 years in Will County.

Experienced, Aggressive and Knowledgeable Domestic Battery Defense

We have successfully tried many cases involving the following, and can do so on your behalf regarding charges of:

  • Domestic battery
  • Rape
  • Spousal abuse
  • Child abuse
  • Stalking
  • Harassment
  • Assault or homicide and murder
  • Violation of a restraining order

We are well aware of the role of hearsay and outright falsehoods in domestic violence cases, and we know how to identify and refute them. We're here for you throughout what may be your first "tour" of the legal process, from arraignment and bail procedures to various confidential negotiations we'll undertake and trial, if necessary. It is in situations like these that our founding member's prosecutorial background can come in handy.

Sound Criminal Defense Strategies Begin With Solid Investigations

Rest assured that any evidence supposedly collected against you will be intensely analyzed to make sure that it has been submitted in accordance with the law. We will strive to anticipate and counter every prosecution strategy. We will research, interview and investigate all avenues that could lead to your acquittal because we know the range of severe penalties that can accompany a conviction, in addition to the stigma that can follow a person for years.

For example, future employment or security clearance for employment can be hard to come by when word of a domestic violence conviction circulates. Our performance in these cases has proven that we can help put your case behind you.

Dear Mr. Haney,
I just wanted to say thank you for helping my son out on such short notice. He has been living on his own and at times still believes he knows everything, but he is learning and for that we are grateful. Please extend this note to your assistant also, as she was wonderful on the phone with me, explaining the process and calming our son down. Thank you.

Steve,
Thanks sincerely for a remarkably professional experience. Since you first took my case I always felt secure and exceedingly well attended.
