Carefully Investigating the Domestic Violence Charges Against You
Domestic violence crimes are a special category of criminal offenses that are defined in part by the relationship between the alleged perpetrator and the alleged victim. The following are some of the most common offenses that come under the heading of domestic violence:
- Criminal Contempt
- Criminal Harassment
- Restraining Orders
- Service for Victims of Domestic Violence
- Stalking
In addition to criminal charges, you may have been served with a restraining order. If you violate that restraining order, you may end up facing additional criminal charges for contempt of court. I regularly defend domestic violence charges as well as help clients respond to their restraining orders.
