Phoenix Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Cases
A domestic violence case can be charged either as a felony or misdemeanor. A felony offense is more serious, but a misdemeanor offense, if convicted, can lead to serious repercussions. These cases are usually based upon the testimony of one person — the alleged victim. The circumstances surrounding the case could be radically different than what is being reported to law enforcement. There are often cases in which a bitter relationship breakup or family altercation results in accusations of domestic violence. In fact, many such cases are false accusations that take place when one former partner is using the legal system to try to damage the reputation of the other. Nonetheless, once accused, you are forced to take action to defend yourself from the accusation. Once convicted, you may be forced to attend court-ordered treatment programs, pay fines and spend time in jail. This conviction will go on your permanent criminal record, and can affect you very adversely in the future; if you are seeking new employment, a background check will reveal the conviction and can influence a prospective employer.
