A conviction for assault family violence has lifelong consequences that go far beyond fines or jail time. A conviction can mean:

  • You can never own a firearm again. This is a lifetime ban under federal law.
  • It can be used against you in a divorce or child custody case.
  • A “Family Violence” finding will be on your permanent criminal record.
  • Future Charges are Harsher: A second charge can be enhanced to a felony, even if it would normally be a misdemeanor.

Defending Against False or Misleading Accusations

Sadly, domestic violence accusations are sometimes made up or exaggerated during a heated argument, divorce, or custody battle. We take these situations very seriously. Our job is to find the truth. We will look for evidence to show your side of the story, such as:

Understanding Protective Orders

Often, a domestic violence charge comes with a Protective Order (or “restraining order”). This is a court order that can force you to move out of your home, stop you from contacting your family (including your children), and order you to stay away from certain places. We can defend you at the Protective Order hearing to fight against these restrictions.
