What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence involves accusations of harm or threat of harm between individuals in close relationships, such as spouses, domestic partners, family members, or those in dating relationships. Charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies and may include:

  • Assault: Causing physical harm to another person.
  • Harassment: Engaging in behavior that intentionally causes emotional distress.
  • Stalking: Repeatedly following or harassing someone in a way that causes fear for their safety.
  • Threats and Intimidation: Verbal or written threats of physical harm.
  • Violation of Protective Orders: Failing to adhere to a restraining order or order of protection issued by the court.



In New York, domestic violence charges can lead to severe penalties, including jail time, fines, restraining orders, and loss of custody or visitation rights.

What Could Happen to Me if Convicted?

At Brian C. Buettner, Attorney at Law, we understand that domestic violence cases are often complex and emotionally charged. Many accusations arise from misunderstandings, exaggerated claims, or situations in which emotions run high. Our goal is to provide a vigorous defense that protects your rights and reputation. We explore all possible defenses, such as:

  • False Allegations: In some cases, accusations of domestic violence may be false or exaggerated, often as part of a custody dispute, divorce proceeding, or other personal conflicts. We will thoroughly investigate the circumstances to challenge any false claims and expose inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case.
  • Self-Defense: If you acted to protect yourself or another person from harm, we will present evidence to show that your actions were justified under New York’s self-defense laws.
  • Lack of Evidence: Domestic violence cases often rely on the testimony of the alleged victim. If there is insufficient physical evidence to support the claims, we will challenge the prosecution’s case and argue for reduced charges or dismissal.
  • Accidental Harm: In some cases, injuries may have occurred unintentionally or in situations where intent to harm was not present. We will work to demonstrate that the incident was an accident and not a deliberate act of violence.


If you are facing domestic violence charges in New York, it is essential to seek experienced legal representation as soon as possible. Brian C. Buettner, Attorney at Law is here to provide you with the strong defense and support you need to protect your rights and your future.
