What Makes a Misdemeanor or Felony Battery DV Charge So Dangerous?
Arrest Is Mandatory - If the police are called regarding a domestic violence charge, a member of the household will be arrested. Without effective representation, you are put at the mercy of an impersonal criminal justice system.
At Pezzillo Robinson, we call battery domestic violence the "king of misdemeanors." Many people who are accused of misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or even felony battery simply plead guilty - or try to represent themselves. Because the consequences of a conviction are so severe, this can be a grave mistake.
Conviction can have consequences far beyond the immediate penalties for the crime:
Battery Domestic Violence Is an Enhanceable Crime - A misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor or felony battery domestic violence charge can follow you throughout your life. A second conviction on similar facts, even one involving an incident with a different person, can result in more severe penalties than the first. A third offense is always charged as a felony.
Loss of Rights and Employment Opportunities - A conviction for spousal abuse or family violence can harm your career, mean you will be prevented from possessing a firearm, become an issue in your divorce, and mean loss of custody or even loss of visitation with your children. You may lose your job or be excluded from consideration for other jobs.
