Minimizing Your Exposure to Harsh Consequences
Being charged with domestic violence is an extremely serious matter. If convicted, you face a number of consequences:
- Generally, a first domestic assault conviction can result in the loss of you right to own a firearm, in addition to fines, community service and probation. Depending on the severity of the assault and the temperament of the judge, you could also get jail time.
- If you are charged with a second domestic violence offense, you will likely be charged with a misdemeanor that carries more severe penalties than your first conviction. If life-threatening injuries or strangulation are involved, you will be facing felony charges.
- A third domestic violence charge will result in felony domestic assault charges.
If you face domestic violence charges, it is crucial to have an attorney on your side as soon as possible. Even before you are formally charged, we may be able to negotiate and have the charges dripped or reduced to a less serious charge, like disorderly conduct. In some cases, we can negotiate a plea agreement.
You Cannot Rely on the Victim Dropping Charges
Even if your accuser wants to drop the charges against you, the decision ultimately rests with the prosecutor in charge of the case. Unlike the past, where cooler heads would prevail after a domestic violence call and there would be no charges, someone is probably getting arrested if police are called to the scene. Even if the victim is unwilling to cooperate, the prosecution can still pursue spousal abuse charges against you.
