What Is Family Violence?

Family violence, also called domestic violence, can include harm against family members or romantic partners but it can also include anyone with whom you share a household. With 15 years of combined legal experience, Attorneys Aaron E. Eckman and Victoria Eckman have worked in a domestic violence court and are familiar with how prosecutors pursue these charges.

A few examples of family violence charges we represent include:

• Physical violence
• Threats of violence
• Sexual assault
• Child endangerment
• Child abuse

Every family violence charge carries slightly different consequences. The penalties you may face depend on the nature of the alleged crime, such as whether physical harm was caused or not. There are several different levels of family violence charges, ranging from a Class C misdemeanor carrying up to $500 in fines to a first-degree felony carrying 5-99 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
