What are some of the routine penalties for the conviction of a Domestic Violence Law or Spouse Abuse?
It depends upon the circumstances of each case. However, first-time offenders are usually placed on probation, required to serve a few days of custody or public work service and complete a batterer’s program. As these types of crimes are aggressively prosecuted, jail time is routinely sought even in first offense, non-serious injury cases. Our main goal is to get the charges dropped or reduced to a lesser offense and keep you out of jail! Some others penalties can include probation, significant fines, domestic violence counseling, and anger management classes.
