As a successful real estate broker, the client was concerned about the effect a criminal conviction would have on his professional license and livelihood. The District Attorney would not reduce the charge to a non-criminal traffic violation because the client was previously arrested for driving while intoxicated. Edward found a flaw in the prosecution’s handling of the case and made a motion to dismiss the case. The motion was granted in its entirety and the case was completely DISMISSED.

His professional license and future career opportunities are secure.

The Defense Process
Initial Consultation: The first step in defending against domestic violence charges is an initial consultation. During this meeting, Ed Palermo will review the details of your case, discuss your legal options, and outline a defense strategy. This consultation is confidential and designed to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions.
Investigation: A thorough investigation is critical to building a strong defense. Ed and his team will gather all relevant evidence, including police reports, witness statements, medical records, and any other documentation that can support your case. This comprehensive approach ensures no stone is left unturned.
Pre-Trial Motions: Ed Palermo is adept in filing pre-trial motions to challenge the prosecution’s evidence and potentially get the charges reduced or dismissed. These motions might include motions to suppress evidence, motions to dismiss the case, or motions to limit certain testimony.
Negotiation and Plea Bargaining: In many cases, it is possible to negotiate with the prosecution to reach a favorable plea agreement. Ed will use his strong negotiation skills, and will work diligently to secure a deal that minimizes the impact on your life. However, he will never recommend a plea deal that is not in your best interest.

He is a seasoned trial attorney who excels in the courtroom, presenting a compelling defense that aims to dismantle the prosecution’s case and highlight reasonable doubt.
Common Defenses in Domestic Violence Cases
Several defense strategies can be employed in domestic violence cases, depending on the specifics of the situation. Some common defenses include:
- Self-Defense: If you were acting in self-defense or in defense of another person, this can be a strong defense. Ed Palermo will gather evidence to show that your actions were justified to protect yourself or others from harm.
- False Allegations: Unfortunately, false allegations of domestic violence do occur, often in the context of contentious divorces or custody battles. Ed Palermo will work to expose inconsistencies in the accuser’s story and present evidence that supports your innocence.
- Lack of Evidence: The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that domestic violence occurred. Ed Palermo will scrutinize the evidence against you and highlight any weaknesses or lack of credible proof.
- Accidental Injury: In some cases, injuries may result from accidents rather than intentional acts of violence. Ed Palermo will present evidence that supports an alternative explanation for the injuries.
