Protecting You From the Damage of a Domestic Violence Conviction
What can you expect if convicted of domestic violence? That depends on the severity of your case and your prior record. For instance:
- First offense: You will lose your right to own a firearm, in addition to fines, community service and probation. Depending on the temperament of the judge and the severity of assault, you could be sentenced to jail time.
- Second offense: You will likely face misdemeanor domestic violence charges, but it will carry more potential penalties than your first conviction. If life-threatening injuries or strangulation are involved, you could face felony domestic assault charges.
- Third offense: This will likely result in felony domestic assault charges.
What if the Accuser Wants to Drop Charges?
If the police are called to your home to deal with a domestic violence accusation, chances are you are going to jail — even if your accuser does not want to press charges. The prosecutor will make the decision about whether to pursue charges, even if your accuser decides he or she wants the charges dropped.
