Gilbert Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

Criminal Defense Lawyer: Defending Against Domestic Violence

Domestic violence charges can be the result of a variety of circumstances. The charges are filed when a spouse, ex-spouse, roommate, ex-roommate, grandparent, grandchild, or other domestic partner accuses an individual of a threat, assault, emotional abuse, child abuse, stalking, spousal abuse or other crime. When this is the charge, the results of a conviction can be very severe. Arizona laws are harsh for those who commit violent crimes, and domestic violence or spousal abuse are no exception. 

It is crucial to have strong legal representation from a Gilbert domestic violence defense lawyer if you are charged with any such crime. Even if the charges are false accusations, you will still be forced to defend yourself in court. At the Knowles Law Firm, the legal team is prepared to fight to defend clients facing any type of domestic violence charge including harassment, order of protection violation, as well as threatening and intimidating.

The consequences of a conviction on any domestic violence charge are severe. Many convicted individuals spend time in prison or jail as part of the punishment meted out by the court.

If convicted, the repercussions on a felony are extreme. 

You will have certain restrictions placed upon you including the ability to vote until any length of parole or probation is completed. Some felons are not allowed to own a firearm, and it can be difficult to get a job, a loan or even a place to live. It is strongly advised that you contact Law Offices of Anthony Knowles if you are charged with a felony domestic violence charge, or even a lesser offense if you are seeking to defend yourself.
