There was a time when the Rhode Island area saw an unprecedented rise in domestic violence cases urging the authorities to address the matter. Today Rhode Island is known to be very strict when it comes to domestic violence charges. In 1988, the local government approved the Domestic Violence Prevention Act that was aimed at the reduction of domestic violence cases utilizing strict enforcement. The Act stipulated the consequences of any kind of offence in detail. The practical outcome of the changed legislation was that the local authorities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island were able to make arrests regarding domestic violence claims based on suspicion. They had the authority to make arrests merely on accusations of spousal abuse, domestic disorderly conduct, domestic violence and spousal abuse without the need for a warrant.

“Once the courts found any individual guilty of a domestic violence accusation, these individuals faced several heavy penalties. The local authorities have been known for quite a while now for their strict attitude in clamping down on domestic violence crimes. The penalties you would be facing in such an event include heavy fines and costs, loss of employment and long jail sentences. In many cases, it also happens that these individuals lose their jobs and then must face financial difficulty not to even mention the stigma you have to deal with once found guilty. One of the minor penalties would also include court-ordered counselling. As these penalties are quite severe, it is always best to get the legal support team on your side who is familiar with these kinds of cases when you end up with this kind of charge against you,” says Blake Nolan, the media consultant for one of the leading legal practices in Rhode Island.

Nolan then further expands on the company motto. He says that while they see domestic violence as a very serious offence, they do believe and will always work towards providing everyone with a fair trial and the opportunity to prove their innocence to the courts. “Justice is only justice once both parties had access to a fair trial. Therefore, regardless of what kind of accusations you have against your name, our team will leave no stone unturned to find the evidence you need to prove your innocence to the courts,” Nolan says.
