Murfreesboro Domestic Violence Lawyer
Have you been accused of domestic violence?
Charges of domestic violence can have a dramatic impact on your personal and professional life. Before your case even goes to trial, it can result in an order of protection that forces you to leave your home or prevents you from seeing your children. Domestic violence is a term used to describe many different types of offenses involving a spouse, ex-spouse or other family member, as well as a boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé or domestic partner. Types of domestic violence crimes include:
- Stalking
- Rape
- Sexual battery
- Assault
- Aggravated assault
- Child molestation
- Child abuse
When a family member files a domestic violence report with the police, even if they later change their mind, the prosecution can still decide to pursue the case. You cannot turn back the clock on domestic violence accusations. Once they are made, you future and freedom are in jeopardy. A domestic violence conviction can result in probation, jail time, fines, psychological counsel, public service and even sex offender registration. If you have been accused of violence against a family member, seek legal advice from a Murfreesboro criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. Do not talk to the police without consulting a lawyer. Any information you provide a police officer can be used against you in court.
