How A Domestic Violence Conviction Affects Your Life

Michigan domestic violence law is very nuanced, and the difference between an acquittal, a misdemeanor, and a felony is often a matter of interpretation and legal argument in court. This is a BIG difference because the possible consequences include:

  • Years in prison
  • Thousand of dollars in fines
  • Emergency protective orders
  • Unfavorable divorce rulings
  • Supervised visitation with your children
  • Loss of child custody or visitation
  • Being forced to leave the home
  • Mandatory mental health evaluation and counseling
  • Anger management
  • Parenting classes
  • Drug and alcohol treatment
  • Electronic monitoring
  • Negative impact to immigration status

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

Worst of all, a misdemeanor or felony domestic violence conviction will result in a criminal record that will follow you around for the rest of your life. That record could affect where you live, work, or even date.

To discuss your situation and your options, call for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION.

All Lawyers Are Not Created Equal

With so much on the line, you simply cannot afford to trust your freedom and your future to an overwhelmed and underfunded public defender. A court-appointed attorney does not have the time or resources to provide a strong domestic violence criminal defense.

Even many private defense attorneys in Southfield do not have a great deal of experience handling domestic violence cases. This means ineffective strategies, missed opportunities, and a poor outcome that could have been avoided.

To win your case and get your life back, you need expert legal representation – a Southfield, Michigan, domestic violence criminal defense lawyer who specializes in cases just like yours.

In other words, you need Blank Law. Your FIRST CONSULTATION IS FREE.
