Why Do I Need a Phoenix Criminal Defense Lawyer for Domestic Violence?

If you have been arrested for domestic violence or domestic assault in Tempe, there’s a good chance that the situation is complicated and emotional. Dealing with accusations from family members can be very difficult, and your legal situation could become very serious.

• You may be forbidden to contact the victim at all or return to your home.
• Your relationship with other family members can suffer, and your child custody rights may be at risk.
• Domestic violence cases tend to be prosecuted much more aggressively than other cases, come with harsh punishments, and any future offenses could be punished much more harshly.
• An Arizona domestic violence charge could mean a felony conviction that you will need to report on all of your future employment applications.
