Consequences of a Domestic Violence Conviction

Domestic violence allegations are treated seriously by law enforcement and prosecutors throughout Georgia. In many cases, an arrest can occur based solely on an accusation, often before all the facts have been fully investigated.

A conviction can carry significant consequences, including:

• Jail or prison time
• Probation
• Substantial fines and court costs
• Protective or restraining orders
• Loss of firearm rights
• A permanent criminal record
• Employment and professional licensing challenges
• Damage to personal and family relationships

For many people, the consequences begin long before a court date. You may already be facing restrictions on where you can live, who you can contact, and how you interact with your family.

The sooner you begin building your defense, the more options may be available to protect your future. Don’t wait, contact Brett Willis Law today for your free consultation.
