Domestic Violence Charges In Pennsylvania

Have you or someone you know been arrested for domestic violence in Pennsylvania? When the charge of Domestic Violence is involved you are dealing with family or significate others where emotions will be running high. You must protect yourself by talking to an experienced law firm because the impact of a charge like this can affect you for the rest of your life. These charges come out of anger, jealousy, or spite during breakup or arguments, sometime as a desire for revenge, whether they are truthful or not. Just being charged with Domestic Violence in Pennsylvania can have drastic consequences for you in the short term and the long term.

Domestic Violence is charged when you are being accused of attacking a spouse or person who have been a spouse, or a person living as a spouse or who lived as a spouse, parent and children, other persons related by consanguinity or affinity, current or former sexual or intimate partners or persons who share biological parenthood.

Basically anyone with whom you are in a relationship with or living together with; spouses, former spouses, children, parents and significant others. The possible offense that Domestic Violence is attached to can be harassment, simple assault, aggravated assault, stalking, false imprisonment, sexual assault, or rape to name a few. Once these charges are levied against you the District Attorney’s office will usually go through with the charges regardless if the “victim” tells the Prosecutors that they want the charges dismissed.

When charged with Domestic Violence in Pennsylvania the first thing that will happen is your bail will be set and it will usually include a no contact provision with the “victim”. This more often than not will result in you being kicked out of your house, because you are not allowed to have contact with the victim who is living there. Meaning you will not be able to get the items you need, you will not be able to see your kids, and will have to live in a hotel or out of your car until the bail condition is changed or until the case is resolved in a manner that will allow you to return home.

If you are found guilty of domestic violence in Pennsylvania you can face a possible jail sentence with a lengthy probation sentence to follow, in addition you will lose your right to purchase or own a firearm. You may have to take anger management classes where you will receive counseling, and have to perform community service. These consequences will follow you for the rest of your life.

It is extremely important to contact an experienced law firm right away if you or someone you know is charged with a Crime in Pennsylvania where the police are claiming domestic violence.
