Domestic abuse can be:

  • Physical
  • Emotional
  • Sexual
  • Financial
  • Psychological

The circumstances of the allegations against you will determine how your case is prosecuted. The penalties for a domestic abuse conviction are severe, often including jail time and fines. A conviction can also affect other areas of your life, including your custody of your children.

Effects of Domestic Violence

Prosecutors can file charges even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. These cases are emotionally charged, and many clients report feeling isolated and alone.

In addition to dealing with the penalties of a conviction, you may also feel a negative impact on your reputation and social life. If you are dealing with domestic violence charges, our experienced criminal defense attorney can craft an effective defense on your behalf.
