Understanding the Seriousness of Your Charges
Family violence charges can have long-term consequences. Even if you were just given a ticket by a police officer who came to your house and not formally arrested, you are facing a serious criminal charge and need to take your criminal defense case seriously.
A conviction for domestic violence, even if you do not get jail time, will prevent you from possessing firearms and obtaining certain types of employment. It can also have a major impact in divorce and child custody cases.
One thing many people do not understand is that you can be convicted of family violence without causing any obvious injury to the alleged victim. If the court finds that you committed assault by threat or that you caused the person pain, you can be convicted.
Elements such as serious bodily injury or use of a deadly weapon, if proven, can significantly increase the penalties for a spousal abuse or other domestic violence conviction.
Giving You the Opportunity to Tell Your Side
Our attorneys defend clients against a full range of criminal charges involving allegations of violence, including not only domestic violence but also simple and aggravated assault and battery.
Many of these cases are based on situations where two people have gotten into a fight and each person is partially responsible for escalating things until they got out of hand.
