Criminal Charges Vary In Domestic Violence Cases

Domestic violence incidents can result in all types of criminal charges, including:

- Spousal abuse or battery
- Child abuse
- Criminal trespass to property
- Criminal damage to property
- Harassment
- Weapons charges
- Violation of order of protection
The Impact Of Restraining Orders
Individuals can also face restraining orders in addition to criminal charges. A restraining order can interfere with your job, access to your children and home, and limit your right to possess firearms.
Our attorneys know how to handle the complex issues associated with domestic violence accusations. We will discuss your options and fight to protect your rights.
Domestic violence charges are not eligible for court supervision. This means that after 72 hours of the incident, prosecutors will start the process of pressing charges, even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges against you.
