What Constitutes Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence charges may be brought for an act of violence upon someone with whom the accused had an intimate relationship. They can also be brought when such acts are just threatened. This means that spouses, domestic partners, parents, stepparents, roommates, or anyone living in the same household may be accused of domestic violence.
The following acts can be considered domestic violence:
Actual or threatened physical harm
Criminal harassment, such as threatening letters or phone calls
Stalking
Kidnapping
Pushing, hitting, slapping, choking, kicking or biting
Sexual assault
Rape
Sexual battery
Statutory rape
Our attorneys will work tirelessly to provide a vigorous defense to these criminal charges, whether that means an acquittal, dismissal or a favorable plea deal.
