Common Penalties

Litigating domestic violence crimes is difficult. Often, these crimes fall into a gray area of the law. Incidents of alleged “domestic violence” often occur in the heat of a moment and are used as a weapon. Once a charge of domestic violence has been made, the accuser cannot withdraw the allegation. We would be proud to serve as your powerful voice in a court of law.

  • Jail Time
  • Expensive Fines
  • Restraining Order
  • Criminal Record
  • Loss of Your Children
  • Loss of Certain Professional Licenses

We Have The Answers You Need

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • What Happens If I Violate A Restraining Order?

    Answer

    If a protective order has been filed against you as a result of a domestic violence accusation, you must remain a certain distance from the accuser. If you violate the restraining order, you will be arrested and taken into police custody. If you would like changes to be made to your restraining order, you must speak with the judge who originally issued the protective order.

  • Are There Alternatives to Serving Time in Prison or Jail?

    Answer

    While alternatives to incarceration are available, retaining legal assistance as early on as possible will decrease your chances of being sentenced with prison or jail time in the first place.

  • Can I Be Charged If No Physical Contact Was Made?

    Answer

    Any threat directed to another party that makes him or her feel as if they are in danger of physical harm may result in a domestic violence charge. This includes stalking and harassment.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Charges Reduced

    There may be a chance that you can get your charges reduced to a misdemeanor, depending upon circumstances with what exactly happened.

  • Possible Case Outcomes
