Domestic Violence Defense

Marlinga Law Group - Michigan Domestic Violence Attorneys

Greater Detroit criminal defense lawyer Carl Marlinga is probably as knowledgeable as anyone in Michigan about the development and function of our state's domestic violence laws and the Personal Protection Orders that enforce them. As Macomb County's prosecuting attorney, he played a leading role both in the enactment and the refinement of the Michigan Domestic Violence Statute through service on advisory committees and testimony before the legislature. He also understands how the Domestic Violence Statute can be applied to situations that it wasn't originally intended to address, or even in some cases be abused to the disadvantage of the defendant.

When your entire career and reputation are on the line, and you need to be exonerated, contact an experienced domestic violence defense lawyer at Marlinga Law Group in Clinton Township.

We can represent you in defense of such charges as the following:

  • Spousal abuse, child abuse, domestic assault, or aggravated domestic assault
  • Stalking, harassment, or making threats
  • Violation of a Personal Protection Order restraining the defendant either from domestic violence or stalking

We apply the same range of investigative and legal resources to the defense of domestic violence cases as we do when representing persons charged with other serious crimes. In one case, we used telephone records and expert testimony to demonstrate that telephone threats made to our client's ex-wife were made not by our client but by someone who "spoofed" our client's telephone number -- the process of causing someone else's telephone number to show up on a caller ID. In another case, we used polygraph evidence to show that our client was not guilty of violating a Personal Protective Order.
