Domestic Violence and Domestic Battery
Domestic violence involves violence between a married couple, between people who are living together, between brothers and sisters, or between children and parents. Many people believe that, if the family member who is the alleged victim is persuaded to drop charges, nothing more will happen to the person who is charged. However, once the matter is introduced into the criminal justice system, you can be arrested, charged and convicted even if the alleged victim does not want to file charges.
A domestic violence charge is a serious matter. A conviction on a domestic violence charge can lead not only to jail time, but also terms of release and probation you may have not considered. For example, you could be placed under a no contact order with the victim or other conditions such as avoidance of alcohol. Convictions may also carry a firearm prohibition, which means that you could lose the right to hunt with a firearm. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you need an experienced domestic violence defense lawyer to represent you as soon as possible to assist you with the terms of your release as well as your defense against the domestic violence charge.
