Assault and Domestic Family Violence

The most common misunderstanding people have about domestic family violence is that your partner/spouse/girlfriend has authority to drop charges when emotions cool. The reality is that once assault charges are filed by the State, only the State, not the alleged complaining witness, decides whether charges are dismissed.

The consequences of a domestic family violence conviction can be severe because the charge could go on your permanent record, and you could face possible jail time. There are many opportunities in domestic family violence cases for an experienced lawyer to negotiate for a better outcome/ resolution. Give us a call and see how we can help you.
