Domestic Violence

Domestic violence isn’t just about physical harm—it covers a wide range of behaviors, from assault and battery to serious offenses like aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and even child cruelty. In many larger counties, prosecutors have dedicated teams just to handle these cases. The consequences can be harsh, including not only jail time but also long-term effects like losing the right to own a gun or, for non-citizens, facing deportation.

But that’s not all. A domestic violence conviction can really mess with your life in other ways too. It might stop you from getting certain jobs, especially in fields that require background checks, like healthcare or education. It could also lead to losing professional licenses that you’ve worked hard to get.

If you have kids, things can get even tougher. Courts often take domestic violence into account when deciding who gets custody, and a conviction could mean losing custody or having your time with your kids limited. Plus, a federal law makes it illegal for anyone convicted of even a misdemeanor domestic violence charge to own or use firearms, which can impact careers in law enforcement or the military
