Domestic Violence Charges
Over the course of the last decade, Nevada law enforcement has stepped up its efforts to curb incidents of domestic violence. As a result, domestic violence is one of the most common causes of arrest in Nevada.
While a small percentage of domestic disputes result in serious injury to the victim, most domestic violence arrests are the result of arguments that involve shouting, verbal threats or minor physical altercations.
As a result, many defendants charged with domestic violence fail to recognize the severity of domestic violence charges. These defendants assume that prosecutors will not aggressively pursue jail time or a criminal conviction since no serious injuries have been sustained by the victim. However, this simply is not the case.
Protect Your Rights - Retain an Attorney
If you are charged with battery, harassment, stalking, terroristic threats, domestic violence or any other domestic related charge, protect your rights. Speak with an attorney immediately. Do not assume the prosecution will drop your charges because your girlfriend, boyfriend or spouse has asked police not to pursue criminal charges.
The prosecution has the right to pursue charges with or without the consent of the alleged victim, and they rarely choose to simply drop charges. However, your chances of success improve if you are able to present a strong legal defense. An attorney can provide the vigorous defense you need.
