A Simple Dispute Can Become a Big Problem
Do not take your charges lightly if you have been arrested for domestic violence. What may seem like a simple matter can turn into a significant problem if it is not handled properly.
Although a first domestic violence offense may be charged as a misdemeanor, not all misdemeanors are treated the same in Illinois. A conviction for domestic violence can result in these and other consequences:
- Jail time and probation
- Required anger management classes or counseling
- Loss of right to own a firearm
- Imposition of a no-contact/restraining order
- Criminal record/damage to your employment opportunities
- Potential damage to your custody or visitation rights
An experienced criminal defense lawyer can raise a vigorous defense on your behalf and help you protect your rights. If you have been charged with domestic violence, battery, assault or another related charge, contact the Jones law firm in Greenville, North Carolina.
