Family Violence Offenses

When you are charged with hurting a loved one, taking the right steps early is very important. Family violence cases come with a lot of emotion and can have major impacts on your life other than a conviction. Once law enforcement is called about a family violence situation, the chances of someone going to jail are very high. If you are charged with a family violence crime, you face jail time, being displaced from your residence, or being ordered to stay away from your children. In addition, your right to possess a firearm may be revoked if you are charged or convicted of a family violence offense.

Finally, all sorts of bond conditions can be placed on you once charged, and if you violate those conditions, you can be charged with additional crimes.

If you find yourself being charged for a family violence offense after already being convicted of a family violence offense once before, the stakes become much higher as it is treated as a felony in Georgia. Rachael stands ready to help you through these emotionally charged cases.
