The Consequences of a Domestic Violence Conviction

Domestic violence law in Michigan is very specifically defined, so the difference between acquittal and a conviction and a misdemeanor, and a felony is frequently a matter of legal argument and interpretation in court.

As the top domestic violence criminal defense law firm in Beverly Hills, Michigan, Blank Law can help you avoid the harshest penalties, including:

Jail/Prison: Up to 10 years
Fine: Up to $5000, plus restitution
A restraining order, with criminal penalties for violations
No mediation of disputes
Unfavorable divorce rulings
Restriction or loss of child custody
Forced to leave the family home
Mandatory psychological evaluation
Anger management classes
Mental health counseling
Alcohol and drug treatment
Loss of the right to possess a firearm
Sexual offender registration

Furthermore, if you have previous domestic violence convictions, if a weapon was involved, if there are allegations of choking or strangulation, or if the alleged victim suffered injuries, the potential penalties get even more severe.

Worst of all, a misdemeanor or felony domestic violence conviction will result in a criminal record that could affect where you live, the types of jobs you can hold, or even who you date.

If you want to beat domestic violence charges and avoid these life-changing consequences, call for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.

Choosing the Right Domestic Violence Lawyers in Beverly Hills

Does it really matter which Beverly Hills defense attorney you use?

Absolutely.

Should You Use a Public Defender?

With so much on the line, you cannot afford to trust your fate to an overworked and underpaid Oakland County public defender. Because they are typically burdened with overwhelming caseloads, court-appointed attorneys simply do not have the resources or the time to provide an effective domestic violence criminal defense.

Can You Hire ANY Lawyer?

Although all attorneys graduate from law school, they go on to different areas of practice. An attorney who primarily handles family or business law is typically not well-versed in criminal law.

But even most private defense attorneys in Beverly Hills do not have a lot of professional experience specifically handling domestic violence cases. This means ineffective defense strategies, missed opportunities that a more experienced lawyer would have exploited, and an unnecessarily-poor outcome to your case that could and should have been avoided.

To beat domestic assault charges, clear your name, and get your life back, you need a legal specialist who routinely handles cases just like yours – an experienced Beverly Hills, Michigan, domestic violence criminal defense lawyer.

For your best chances, you need Blank Law. THE FIRST CONSULTATION IS FREE.
