Salt Lake City Domestic Violence Attorney
Defending Domestic Violence Offenses
Domestic violence (also known as domestic abuse or spousal abuse) occurs when a family member, partner, or ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate another. Domestic violence often refers to violence between spouses, but can also include cohabitants and non-married intimate partners. Domestic violence is perpetrated by both men and women.
Domestic violence has many forms, including physical violence, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, intimidation, economic deprivation, and threats of violence. Violence can be criminal and includes physical assault (hitting, pushing, shoving, etc.), sexual abuse (unwanted or forced sexual activity), and stalking.
When people are charged with a crime they face the prospect of incarceration. Ultimately that can bring with it probation and parole, large fines, forced registration with law enforcement, and perhaps most damaging, a record that severely limits their future, sometimes for the rest of their lives.
In addition, the damage can extend to the accused’s family in many ways. We are here to provide finest and most ethical legal defense you’ll find anywhere.
