Strength, Strategy And Stability In High-Conflict Family Law Cases

Attorney Experienced With Family-Related Criminal Charges

Conflicts at home can quickly turn into criminal matters. If a spouse calls the police during an argument, you could face domestic violence charges that cannot simply be “taken back.” Likewise, a report to the Department of Child Services (DCS) – even from a neighbor – can lead to allegations of child abuse or neglect.

These charges carry serious consequences. A conviction may result in a permanent criminal record, loss of certain rights, and even removal of your children. When your freedom and your family are at stake, you need an experienced family-related criminal defense attorney in Indianapolis who can respond quickly and strategically.

Before speaking with law enforcement, it is critical to consult a lawyer. We represent clients facing domestic violence, child abuse, DCS-related criminal charges and lower-level felonies and misdemeanors in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana.

Experience That Makes a Difference

Attorney Robert Schembs brings valuable insight from his work as former counsel for Marion County DCS and as a prosecutor. He understands how the state builds cases in domestic battery, child abuse, and neglect cases, and uses that knowledge to develop strong, effective defenses for clients across Indiana.

Protecting You From False Allegations

In some situations, accusations of domestic violence or child abuse arise during custody disputes or contentious separations. False or exaggerated claims may be used to gain leverage or influence court proceedings. We work to uncover the facts, challenge unsupported allegations, and protect your relationship with your children.

Take Action Early to Protect Your Rights

Once law enforcement becomes involved, your case is no longer a private matter. Early legal guidance can make a critical difference in the outcome. If you are facing or expect to face charges, speak with an Indianapolis criminal defense lawyer for domestic violence or DCS-related cases as soon as possible.
