Domestic Violence: What to Know
In Georgia, domestic violence charges – also known as family violence charges – occur when police respond to an incident between people who are related or who live together, whether they are married, dating, or just roommates. Some of the most common family violence charges include:
Domestic violence charges can be either misdemeanor or felony offenses, but no matter how they are classified they are aggressively prosecuted throughout northeast Georgia. Convictions for a family violence offense can result in jail sentences, probation, fines, community service hours, mandatory family violence program completion, substance abuse treatment, and the loss of certain rights, most notably the right to carry a firearm. People charged with a family violence offense can also find themselves barred as a condition of their bond from their home or banned from seeing the alleged victim and possibly even their own children. Additionally, often times people charged with domestic violence offenses have to defend themselves against a petition for a temporary protective order (TPO) before a superior court judge.
If you are charged with a domestic violence offense it is important to know your options as it relates to bond modification, pretrial diversion possibilities, and first offender ramifications. Actions taken throughout the course of your case from the time of your arrest can have effects on the final outcome, so it is important to have an experienced domestic violence lawyer for the duration of your case that is familiar with the justice system and is experienced handling domestic violence cases.
