Far-Reaching Consequences

Most assault charges, including domestic violence, can be charged as either a felony or misdemeanor, depending on the severity of injuries and other relevant factors. For instance, if the incident took place in the presence of children, the offense will likely be charged as a felony. An assault conviction can have serious and long-term consequences that follow you for years. For example, under state law, having a domestic violence conviction on your criminal record can prompt the court to deny you child custody or visitation rights. Even if you’re granted visitation rights, you’ll likely only be able to interact with your child while under the supervision of a court-appointed official. Since the stakes are so high, it’s essential that you work with an experienced criminal defense lawyer who will work hard to defend your rights.
