Domestic Violence Attorney In Middlebury, Connecticut
When A Loved One Accuses You Of Violence, We Take Up Your Cause
Being accused of domestic violence is an incredibly stressful and emotional experience — especially when the allegations are false or exaggerated. If someone you love has wrongfully accused you of violence or abuse, it’s natural to feel hurt, angry, and betrayed. Unfortunately, because prosecutors in Connecticut take domestic violence cases very seriously, you may find yourself facing harsh penalties and an uphill legal battle.
At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, we understand both the seriousness of true domestic violence cases and the damage that false accusations can cause. Our attorneys carefully review every claim and piece of evidence with a critical eye. We investigate inconsistencies, uncover motives behind the allegations, and challenge overzealous prosecutors who may have overcharged the case in an effort to appear tough on crime.
Whether the accusation comes from a spouse, partner, or another household member, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and reputation. Our attorneys examine police reports, depose witnesses, and cross-examine the accuser to expose contradictions and bring the truth to light.
False or exaggerated domestic violence claims can have life-altering consequences. Don’t face them alone. Contact Minnella & Tramuta, LLC today to speak with a criminal defense attorney who will stand by your side and fight to protect your future.

What Are Domestic Violence Charges?
In Connecticut, domestic violence isn’t limited to physical harm. It can also include intimidation, harassment, stalking, threats, or interfering with a family or household member’s personal freedom. These are serious allegations that can impact not only your freedom, but also your family relationships, employment, and reputation. However, being charged does not mean you are guilty — and it doesn’t mean your future is over.
At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, we take a proactive approach to defending those accused of domestic violence. Our attorneys closely examine the details of your case to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s argument. We look for inconsistencies in witness statements, false or exaggerated claims, and procedural errors made by police or investigators. Every piece of evidence is scrutinized to ensure that your side of the story is heard and presented clearly.
If the incident stemmed from a heated moment and some level of responsibility exists, we will work to find solutions that focus on rehabilitation, not punishment. In many cases, participation in counseling or anger management programs may lead to reduced charges or even eventual dismissal of the case after a period of good behavior. There is always a path forward. With Minnella & Tramuta, LLC
on your side, you can count on a defense team that will fight for fairness, understanding, and hope. Contact us today to discuss your case and learn how we can help you move toward a better future.
What Could Happen to Me if Convicted?
In Connecticut, the penalties for a domestic violence conviction can vary depending on the severity of the offense and the circumstances surrounding the case. A conviction could be classified as either a misdemeanor or a felony, and both carry serious consequences that can affect nearly every aspect of your life.
Even a misdemeanor conviction can lead to jail time, steep fines, and a permanent criminal record that may impact your employment, finances, and reputation. In more serious situations — particularly those involving physical injury, threats, or repeated incidents — prosecutors may pursue felony charges, which can result in lengthy prison sentences and much higher fines.
The impact of a domestic violence conviction extends far beyond the courtroom. You may face challenges finding work, restrictions on firearm ownership, limitations in educational opportunities, and even the loss of child custody or visitation rights. At Minnella & Tramuta, LLC, we understand how much is at stake. Our attorneys will take swift and decisive action to protect your rights, challenge the charges against you, and pursue the best possible resolution for your case. Don’t risk your freedom, your family, or your future. Contact Minnella & Tramuta, LLC
