Atlanta Attorney for Multiple Domestic Violence Offenses
Atlanta Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
When a person already has a conviction for domestic violence on his or her record, a future offense will result in increased penalties. In Atlanta, although a first offense of domestic violence may be charged as a misdemeanor, a second or subsequent offense may be charged as a felony punishable by 1 to 5 years in prison.
The importance of working with an Atlanta criminal defense attorney in the face of multiple domestic violence offenses cannot be stressed enough. When you look at the already harsh penalties that may be imposed for a first domestic violence conviction, a second or subsequent conviction is all the more serious. In addition to facing years in prison, you may also face a restraining order that will prohibit contact with the alleged victim, may lose custody of your children, and will have to deal with the burden of living with a felony conviction on your criminal record. This will impact your employment, housing, financial and educational opportunities.
