At The Law Offices of Marion M. Moses, LLC, we represent clients who find themselves charged in the criminal justice system. We are experienced in the defense of clients charged with domestic violence, and our firm understands that there are two sides to every story.
What is Domestic Violence?
Threatening or assaulting your spouse, partner or someone with whom you have a romantic or intimate relationship is not considered the same type of crime as when the victim is a stranger. Such an act is considered domestic violence, and it is punished differently than simple assault and battery.
Types of Domestic Violence Offenses
Your spouse, unmarried partner or even someone you are dating can charge you with domestic violence.A wide range of actions can result in a domestic violence charge, including:

|
An assault on another person when a weapon is used, or an assault that causes serious injury is considered aggravated assault or aggravated domestic violence. The weapon can be a gun, kitchen knife or household object — as long as it has been used to seriously harm someone.
What are the Penalties for Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence charges are serious accusations. If you are accused of such crimes, you’re facing serious penalties, including potential jail time. Arrests and convictions can even threaten your employment prospects. Additionally, if you are a hunter, domestic violence convictions will affect your ability to own or possess firearms and threaten your hunting privileges.
