A Conviction Could Affect You in Many Ways
Whether this is your first time facing domestic violence charges or you have been through this before, you face a range of consequences if convicted:
- A first domestic assault conviction can cause you to lose your right to own a firearm, in addition to fines, community service and probation. Depending on the judge and the severity of the assault in question, you could go to jail.
- If you are convicted a second time, you will likely be convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, with more severe penalties than your first conviction. If life-threatening injuries or strangulation are involved, you could face felony domestic assault charges.
- A third conviction will most likely result in felony domestic assault charges.
We will work hard before and during your case to limit your exposure to the harshest consequences of these charges. We may be able to have the charges against your dropped, reduced to a lesser charge or negotiate a favorable plea agreement.
Can the Accuser Drop the Charges?
Unfortunately, once you are accused and the phone call is made to the police, you are likely going to jail. Gone are the days when cooler heads would prevail, heading off domestic violence charges by the time the police arrive. Even if your accuser does not want to press charges or later wants to drop charges, the decision is made by the prosecution.
