If you share a home and children with the alleged victim, you may face a restraining order which keeps you from seeing your children or returning to your home.

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 experience as an Assistant District Criminal Attorney, our leading lawyer has worked in a family violence court and is familiar with how prosecutors pursue these charges. When you choose our firm, you put our experience to work for you.

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.
