Does a Domestic Violence charge mean there will always be a protection order while my case is pending?

When a judge issues an order to stay away during a criminal charge, it is called a temporary protection order. This type of order must be requested by the victim or a prosecutor on the victim’s behalf.

Will a Domestic Violence allegation against me mean I will not be able to go home?

In most cases, yes. A judge can, at arraignment, issue a protection order if they believe the safety of the alleged victim is compromised.

Can I possess a firearm with a domestic violence charge?

No. A domestic violence charge pending against you will most certainly disqualify you from gun ownership.

How Do I Choose A Domestic Violence Lawyer?

You should consider the following when seeking legal services for domestic violence charges:

  • Are you comfortable telling the lawyer your personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases like yours?
  • Does the attorney offer a free consultation, or does the initial consult cost money? How are the attorney’s fees structured – hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
