Criminal Law – Domestic Violence

A domestic violence conviction can have serious consequences, even for a first-time offender. The state of Michigan considers domestic violence a serious problem. This can result in the aggressive pursuit of a domestic violence case even when the evidence is scant. Sometimes a spousal abuse charge is used as leverage in a divorce or child custody case, or just to get even. A conviction could jeopardize your divorce or custody proceeding, including a long Domestic Violence class, Probation, possible jail time and prohibiting you from owning a firearm in your own home. With so much on the line, you need a lawyer who is familiar with the criminal justice system.

If you have been charged with domestic violence, you may face serious consequences, especially if you are in a divorce or custody proceeding. Hiring a good lawyer, experienced in Domestic Violence cases, will better your chances to get out of trouble with the least consequences.
