The Law Office of Roberta Brooks • Aggressive Criminal Defense
Domestic violence often refers to violence against a partner, former partner, spouse, or former spouse. The act itself can spawn a host of charges such as assault and battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, criminal threats, and even rape. The District Attorney may file domestic violence related offenses as misdemeanors or felonies. Sentencing can include incarceration in the county jail, or the state prison. Call us to discuss your charges or potential charges.
Domestic Violence Consequences
The consequences of a conviction related to domestic violence charges can be severe. The court can impose a sentence that includes incarceration in the county jail or state prison.
