That's because these cases are generally handled in a special courtroom, where special practices are used. In addition, because Domestic Violence cases involve special pre-trial release rules, you may be held in custody for an entire weekend or more before you are released.
In addition, it's important that at the time you appear at your First Appearance hearing you have an attorney present. That's because you want to make sure you are released on as few conditions as possible. And, if there are children involved, you want to make sure that any "no contact" orders allow you to remain involved with your children.
In addition, there may be other aspects to your case including a divorce, pending divorce, property disputes, or a civil 50B protective order that you need to have handled. By hiring a lawyer who can look out for all your interest, you can ensure that your case is properly handled with as few problems as possible.
