Las Vegas Domestic Battery Defense Lawyer
Under Nevada law, you may be charged with domestic violence in either justice court or municipal court, depending upon the community you are charged in. If you are facing charges in a municipal court, you are likely to face a more aggressive prosecution, in part because municipal court prosecutors do not have the heavier burden of prosecuting a high number of felony offenses as part of their daily caseload. Municipal court judges also tend to apply a harsher interpretation of the sentencing statutes, in an effort to demonstrate that their community takes battery and other domestic abuse charges seriously.
