Minneapolis and St. Paul Domestic Violence Attorney
The consequences of a conviction for domestic violence or domestic assault can be severe. The loss of the right to bear arms can affect people employed in the military, law enforcement and security. Health care workers generally cannot work if they have a conviction for domestic assault on their record. And a record can lead to employer withdrawal of security and access clearances, affecting the employment of janitors, teachers, office workers and more.
Misdemeanor charges may result if the alleged domestic violence victim suffered no serious injury. Serious injury or a record of prior domestic violence charges can quickly lead to felony charges, fines and jail time. Once the police are called and charges are filed they cannot be withdrawn, even by the person who filed them.
