Most couples learn to resolve their
differences or even end their relationships without resorting to
domestic assault or family violence. Sometimes, however, even good
people gets so stressed out and feel so overwhelmed that they lose it
even for a moment and strike out at their partner or another family
member in a physical way.
The Consequences for Assault Family Violence
Depending on the circumstances, the prosecutors can charge Assault Family Violence either as:
- a misdemeanor, or
- a felony.
A Class A Misdemeanor Assault means
that a person caused bodily injury (or pain) to their partner. If the
person used a deadly weapon in the domestic assault, then it is a Felony
Aggravated Assault. If the person choked their partner or restricted
their breathing, then it is also a Felony. No matter the level of the
criminal offense charged, you can expect the court to order you out of
your home and have no contact until the case is resolved with your
partner, spouse or family member. Punishment for those who are found
guilty of misdemeanor assault family violence may also include:
- Community Supervision (Probation)
- A fine of up to $4,000.00
- Jail confinement of up to one year
- Community service
- Anger management counseling
The Montgomery County District
Attorney’s Office immediately calls the alleged victim to get their
statement as to what happened. The prosecutors lock in the emotional
stress of the event by obtaining their immediate statement. However,
facts tend to change and the importance of the incidence significantly
lessens frequently after a short cooling off time.

Defending a Montgomery County Assault Family Violence Charge
Assault

consequences. The accused may be permanently barred from working in
certain industries. The accused may be denied housing in apartment
complexes. If you are charged with assault family violence, you should
seek legal advice from a experienced criminal defense lawyers.
The Montgomery County Criminal Lawyers
at James Sullivan and Associates fight to get their client’s assault
family violence charges dismissed or won at trial. Other domestic
assault lawyers may choose to arrange a plea bargain for their clients;
however, this may not be in the client’s best interest. While it is
true that a defendant who successfully completes a deferred adjudication
probation will not have a conviction on their record, it is also true
that if that person ever gets arrested again for assault family violence
then he or she will be charged with a third degree felony and if found
guilty could be sentenced to between 2 to 10 years in prison.
Negotiating a plea deal with
prosecutors should be the last resort. A good Montgomery County
domestic assault lawyer will first investigate the case, interview
witnesses, analyze physical evidence and review witness statements in
the offense report for inconsistencies. Such a defense attorney will
also consider possible motives for making false allegations, such as
jealousy, revenge or child custody issues.
