Domestic Violence is a physical, emotional or sexual crime of abuse directed at a spouse, ex-spouse, date, or family. It can have serious consequences including fines and jail time. It can separate you from your loved ones and lead to possible registration as a sex offender. The circumstances surrounding a domestic violence charge can be highly emotional. Once a charge is made, a prosecutor can pursue a conviction even if the alleged victim recants the allegation. It is critical to have objective, knowledgeable representation by a high-quality criminal defense attorney.
