Justia Legal Services & Lawyers Directory

Dino Papadopoulos is an experienced trial attorney whose focus is on Domestic Violence charges in Detroit, Wayne County, and Oakland County. His practice is in Taylor, Michigan, but he serves all of Southeastern Michigan and beyond. Mr. Papadopoulos found early in his career that Domestic Violence accusations are some of the harshest injustices that can happen to the accused. In fact, false allegations weaken the words of a true victim, since case after case goes through the system with no basis. Mr. Papadopoulos has made it his calling to seek out these cases of injustice and to give a voice to those who are kicked out of their homes, forced to have no contact with their spouses and their children, and treated like someone who is presumed guilty, rather than being given the constitution's protection of being presumed innocent.
