Arrest and Initial Charges
The legal process for domestic violence offenses starts with an arrest and subsequent charges based on Indiana law. When facing these charges, Verdelski Miller promptly steps in to analyze the details, protect your rights, and initiate a defense strategy.

If sentencing is required, our goal is to achieve the most fair and appropriate disposition, focusing on rehabilitation and minimal restrictions.

In some cases, the legal journey continues beyond the initial verdict. Verdelski Miller is dedicated to exploring post-trial options such as appeals and post-conviction relief petitions. We meticulously review your case for any potential legal errors or new evidence that could support an appeal or a petition for post-conviction relief, always aiming for the best possible outcome for our clients.
