Salt Lake Defense Attorneys - Domestic Violence
If you have been arrested for domestic violence in Utah, do not take your charges lightly. What may have started out as a minor argument could result in serious consequences if your case is not handled properly.
A domestic violence conviction can result in serious penalties, including jail time, probation, court ordered counseling, monetary fines and a loss of your right to own a firearm. It could also cost you your job, limit your future employment opportunities and negatively impact the outcome of a child custody battle.
Protect your rights by contacting an experienced criminal defense attorney who will vigorously defend your rights. For help in Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas, Contact Wasatch Advocates at 801-662-0077.
Do Not Assume Your Charges will be Dropped
If you have been arrested for domestic violence, do not assume that your case will be dismissed. This is true even if your spouse or partner has recanted the allegations and wants the charges against you dropped. The prosecution may still proceed and force the alleged victim to testify through the use of a subpoena. Once a prosecutor decides to file charges, they proceed forward with a sense of purpose and determination.
