What Is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence is any violence inflicted on a spouse, co-parent, cohabitant, prior or present romantic interest, child, or family member.
The punishment for domestic violence can be severe. If you or a loved one has been accused of committing domestic violence, you need to contact an attorney who will vigorously defend your legal rights.
The law affords special protections to victims of domestic violence because they are at a unique risk for injury. To protect these victims, domestic violence is actively prosecuted.
Domestic violence crimes can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. If charged as a misdemeanor, you could face up to one year in county jail. If charged as a felony, you could face up to four years in prison.
