Domestic violence means any act which is a dangerous crime against children or any offense leading to charges of assault, criminal trespass, custodial interference or harassment, etc., if the defendant and alleged victim have a marriage, child/parent, sister/brother or other familial relationship or resided in the same household. If the defendant is found guilty of an offense included in a domestic violence and that offense is otherwise probation eligible, the court may offer the defendant probation or intensive probation, which ranges from an imposition of a fine, incarceration in a county jail, payment of restitution and completion of a domestic violence offender treatment program.

If you commit a crime upon your partner, spouse or former spouse, you may be charged with domestic violence. An arresting officer only needs to find probable cause to arrest you for this offense. We can defend you on a domestic violence charge.
