Domestic Violence & Assault

Kalamazoo Michigan Domestic Violence, Assault and Battery Defense Lawyers

Criminal charges such as assault and battery sometimes arise out of situations that unexpectedly spiral out of control — an argument among co-workers or friends, for example, or between husband and wife. Whatever the circumstances, criminal charges are always serious and never go away or get resolved by themselves.

If you have been accused of a crime, you have a lot to lose — including the respect of your family and friends, and your job or prospects for future employment, and even your freedom. You need a criminal defense lawyer, someone who is ready to stand by you and knows how to protect your rights.

Have You Been Accused of Domestic Violence?

Under Michigan law, domestic violence is abusive behavior — physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and economic — used by one person to dominate or control another. Domestic relationships are those between spouses and former spouses, people in dating relationships, couples with children in common, and residents and former residents of the same household.

Examples of abusive behavior include but are not limited to pushing, shoving, slapping, forcing someone to engage in sex, stalking and denying access to bank accounts and credit cards.

Domestic violence charges and assault charges are aggressively prosecuted in Michigan, even when the alleged victims withdraw their complaints. Often, too, prosecutors stack charges in these cases, turning what is initially a misdemeanor into a felony or multiple charges.
