Domestic violence is a crime in which someone causes, or attempts to cause, physical harm or injury to their own household member.

A “household member” includes:

• A spouse or former spouse
• Persons who have a child in common
• A male and female who are cohabiting or formerly have cohabited

Our lawyer knows from experience that domestic violence accusations are serious and may lead to life-changing outcomes.

As such, we will handle your case with intensity and vigor to better protect you from the following punishments:

• 1^st degree domestic violence: Felony punished by a prison sentence of up to 10 years
• 2^nd degree domestic violence: Misdemeanor punished by a fine of $2,500 to $5,000 and/or a 3-year prison sentence
• 3^rd degree domestic violence: Misdemeanor punished by a fine of $1,000 to $2,500 and/or up to 90 days in jail

More serious domestic violence acts of a “high and aggravated nature” occur under these terms:

• A person commits the offense under the circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life and great bodily injury to the victim results; or
• commits the offense, with or without an accompanying battery and under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, and would reasonably cause a person to fear imminent great bodily injury or death; or
• violates a protection order and, in the process of violating the order, commits domestic violence in the first degree.

Domestic violence of an aggravated nature may be punished with a felony charge and imprisonment for up to 20 years, as well as the loss of your right to carry a firearm.
