Taking domestic violence charges seriously

On Behalf of | Feb 24, 2022 | Domestic Violence |

There is no denying that domestic violence is a serious problem in Oregon and throughout America. In fact, in recent years the awareness of this serious problem has grown quite a bit and, as a result, law enforcement officials and prosecutors take domestic violence issues very seriously. If you are charged with a domestic violence crime, you should take the case seriously too.

Why? Well, for starters, many domestic violence cases involve felony-level charges. These types of charges can result in serious penalties, including the potential for prison time and mandatory fines. Even misdemeanor domestic violence case can involve ancillary consequences beyond the potential for imprisonment, such as the requirement to attend “batterer” education classes or to comply with the terms of restraining orders. If you are facing a domestic violence charge of any level, it can be a life-altering case.
