Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges
Domestic violence charges in Georgia carry serious consequences, both legally and personally. A single accusation can lead to arrest, protective orders, loss of custody rights, and damage to one’s reputation. In such emotionally charged cases, having a defense team that combines legal expertise with empathy is crucial. That’s where Kohn & Yager excels. Their attorneys understand the sensitive nature of domestic violence allegations and approach each case with discretion, strategic thinking, and a commitment to justice.
Unlike other criminal charges, domestic violence cases often involve complex interpersonal dynamics. The accused may be facing false allegations, misunderstandings, or retaliatory claims during a divorce or custody dispute. Kohn & Yager’s attorneys are trained to navigate these nuances. They begin by listening—truly listening—to their clients’ side of the story. This helps them build a defense that reflects the full context, not just the prosecution’s version of events.
Larry Kohn is particularly skilled at handling cases involving protective orders and restraining orders. He understands how these legal tools can be misused and works diligently to challenge their validity when necessary. Kohn’s calm demeanor and methodical approach make him a reassuring presence for clients who feel overwhelmed by the legal process. He’s known for crafting compelling arguments that highlight inconsistencies in the accuser’s testimony and expose weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Cory Yager, with his background in law enforcement, brings a unique perspective to domestic violence defense. He understands how police respond to domestic calls and how quickly assumptions can lead to arrests. Yager often identifies procedural errors, such as failure to properly assess both parties or neglecting to gather key evidence. His ability to cross-examine officers and witnesses with precision often reveals the gaps in the state’s case.
Bubba Head adds a layer of courtroom firepower. With decades of experience in criminal litigation, he’s adept at handling high-stakes domestic violence trials. Head is particularly effective in cases involving serious allegations like aggravated assault or child endangerment. His aggressive style and deep understanding of Georgia’s criminal statutes allow him to challenge charges head-on and negotiate favorable outcomes when trial isn’t the best option.
Kohn & Yager also recognize the emotional toll these cases take on families. They work closely with counselors, therapists, and family law attorneys to ensure that their clients receive holistic support. Their goal isn’t just to win in court—it’s to help clients move forward with dignity and stability.
In Georgia, domestic violence charges can upend lives. But with Kohn & Yager, clients gain more than just legal defense—they gain advocates who understand the human side of the law. Their balanced approach, combining legal rigor with compassion, makes them one of the most trusted criminal defense firms in Atlanta.
