Were You Targeted in a Fraudulent Complaint?
Boston Fraudulent Complaints Attorney Steven J. Topazio Defends Domestic Violence Charges

False allegations occur very frequently, especially common in child sex abuse situations. In dealing with any false allegation of rape, sexual assault or child abuse, I find it is extremely important to get to know the accuser. Some who make false allegations are very antagonistic, seeking to use the criminal justice system to carry out a personal grudge against my client. Others are sympathetic. They may simply be mistaken about what happened or who was involved.

At the Law Office of Steven J. Topazio, I have a solid track record of defending people accused of domestic violence. Reading or watching the news tells us that there are disturbing instances of domestic violence frequently in various places throughout the country. We are shocked and horrified when we learn that parents killed a child, a son or daughter killed a mother or father; or a husband killed a pregnant wife. Society seeks to protect such people from violent acts in families and relationships through strict laws.

The flip side of this coin is the frequency with which disgruntled or enraged girlfriends, boyfriends, wives and husbands file fraudulent complaints against each other. Sometimes in an apparent desire to influence child custody orders or to exact revenge after a betrayal, a domestic partner will bring the police into what is basically a private matter.

Contact Attorney Topazio to schedule a consultation regarding any of the following charges that you face based on falsified or trumped-up charges:

• Assault and Battery
• Violation of Restraining Orders
• Endangering the welfare of a child
• Stalking

One phone call to the police made in the heat of a domestic dispute sets in motion a series of events in the criminal justice system. A fraudulent complaint morphs into a serious criminal matter, regardless of whether the two people involved reconcile or whether the accuser recants. A fraudulent complaint often involves outright fabrication and lies — and can very well result in jail time for the defendant. The accused needs a strong defense to contain the damage.

If you have been named in an order of protection, have been charged in a fraudulent complaint alleging domestic abuse or have even been convicted already for crimes that you know you did not commit against your family member or former love interest, you are urged to discuss your options with an experienced defense lawyer.

It is very important that you not discuss the matter with investigators, with police officers or with family members before you are represented by an attorney who is familiar with the system, and has a proven track record of success.
