Both felony and misdemeanor domestic violence charges have serious consequences. Jail or prison time, fines and court costs, and prohibitive probation periods are just the beginning. Even after a convicted person has served their sentence, their criminal record remains. You may lose custody of your children, your immigration status, and your right to own a weapon.
No matter whether you feel you are guilty of the domestic violence charge or wrongfully accused, consulting with a skilled defense attorney is crucial. Bennett Law can ethically help you negotiate a favorable outcome, avoiding some of the harshest penalties that come with a domestic violence conviction.
