Of course, some cases involve false allegations – and when it comes to spousal abuse, the general public is quick to assume the defendant is "guilty until proven innocent." At Cornwell & Scherff, we will fight your charges with experience, skill and passion.
Attorney Carl E. Cornwell has practiced criminal defense for over 30 years – including over 250 jury trials and many high profile clients. Partner Dionne Scherff has practiced for 15 years and is a former public prosecutor. She knows the system from the inside: the prosecutor's mindset, priorities and tactics.
Solving the Root Problems That Cause Domestic Battery
Domestic violence – including spousal abuse and child abuse – are crimes. But they can also be symptoms of a psychological disorder. By seeking therapy and treatment, it can often be cured. We help our clients by:
- Working with health care professionals
- Working through mental health issues
- Addressing alcohol and drug problems
- Encouraging communication and anger management
Some domestic abuse shelters and advocates would rather just see abusers locked up. And considering they tend to deal with the worst of the worst offenders, it's their prerogative to think that way. But with most cases, the problem can be resolved through therapy and treatment, and families can remain intact.
