Domestic Violence Covers A Lot of Legal Ground…
…And You Need a Veteran Lawyer Who Has Walked This Field Before

The charge of domestic violence encompasses a wide variety of acts towards someone with whom the alleged perpetrator has a familial relationship, and they don’t all necessarily involve physical injury. So while things like assault, battery and false imprisonment obviously fall under the category of domestic violence, so too can things like harassment and stalking. It’s a nebulous legal area, and if you find yourself stuck in it and slapped with a domestic violence charge, you are going to want a criminal defense attorney with the experience, know-how, and aggressive tactics to guide you through to the light at the end of the tunnel.

The Consequences of Being Convicted For Domestic Violence

A conviction could mean a wide range of penalties, from counseling to fines, restitution to the victim, community service, and yes, jail time. And the consequences for a domestic violence conviction do not stop with the immediate punishment; with such a blemish on your record, your life will never be the same.

That is the enduring power of the social stigma attached to a charge of domestic violence, and that is why, if you have been falsely accused, you must fight back with every ounce of strength you have.
