Domestic Violence as an Additional Charge
Domestic violence is not a criminal charge on its own, but is considered a sentence enhancer for other criminal charges. If domestic violence may also be involved in violent crimes, then our attorneys will consider both parts of the case when building a defense..
If a defendant is convicted of a violent crime where domestic violence is involved, there are further consequences than the initial conviction. For example, having domestic violence on their criminal record will bar a person from legally being able to own a firearm, and may make it more difficult for them to get a job or rent or buy a home.
