Even before hearing the jury verdict or accepting a plea deal, domestic violence allegations can have long-lasting effects. Being under suspicion for committing domestic violence can tarnish a person’s reputation, undermine relationships, and negatively impact family finances.
A conviction may jeopardize future job prospects, loan opportunities, educational acceptance, and professional admissions. Those convicted may also forfeit the right to possess a firearm and could even face deportation. A local domestic abuse defense professional could address these concerns in addition working to reduce possible prison time and fines.
