Why Aren’t Family Assault Charges a Good Domestic Violence Solution?

Domestic violence —against men or women—can run the gamut from serious, long-term physical abuse by a repeat offender to a physical argument following an unexpected explosion of temper on the part of a usually peaceful husband or wife.

Families facing violence always need help and support. In many cases, however, a battered wife, husband, or partner impulsively calls the police in a situation that could have been handled more effectively without legal intervention.

That call begins a legal process that often does nothing to resolve family conflict and is ultimately no more in the accuser’s best interest than of the accused. However, once the accusation has been made, the complaining partner is powerless to drop the charges and stop this damaging, costly runaway train.

Domestic Violence Laws and Your Assault and Battery Case

In our free consultation, we will explore the serious consequences that can occur after criminal charges of physical assault:

• protective orders, bond conditions, and no-contact provisions that force you to stay away from your partner and, usually, your children
• what the consequences may be if you plead guilty or are convicted, including consequences to your marriage, job, and immigration status
• the family assault trial and what you can expect
