Know the Domestic Violence Laws You Are Up Against

Under Statute ARS 13-3601, the state of Arizona creates very specific rules about domestic violence. It defines domestic violence very openly as any type of violent or threatening behavior, including emotional abuse that occurs from one household or family member to another. Examples of domestic violence include:

• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault (talk to our Avondale sex crimes lawyer today)
• Other forms of physical abuse
• Emotional manipulation and control
• Stalking
• Threatening actions or language
• Coercion

If you are charged with domestic violence, or the police are discussing charges with you, accusing you of anything, or just questioning you, do not wait to request help from your attorney. Anything you say to the police or others could be used against you, even if it is taken out of context. Request a free consultation from us today so we can begin to protect you.

Consequences of Domestic Violence Convictions in Arizona

Being convicted of domestic violence may lead to significant consequences. The type of charge, as well as the circumstances surrounding it, will play a role in what punishments you could face. Some examples include:

• Misdemeanor or felony charges
• Jail time, which may range from six months to 7.5 years, depending on the charge
• Fines, which increase with the severity of the crime
• Creation of a criminal record
• Long-term probation

Potential Defense Strategies for Domestic Violence Cases

The experience of our criminal defense attorneys enables us to have a wide range of resources and tools available to help those charged with domestic violence create strong defense strategies. Every situation is vastly different, and no single defense strategy applies in every case. Some potential defenses we may suggest based on your case details include:

• Errors and inconsistencies: One of the most effective strategies we apply is to look for inaccuracies or inconsistencies in the story of the accuser. If the story changes over time or does not align with known facts, that may be used to prove your innocence.
• Lack of proof: Physical proof is critical in most domestic violence cases but also very challenging to obtain. Without any proof, your word against theirs becomes a focal point.
• Self-defense: Self-defense is an effective strategy in many situations. Our team will demonstrate that you were in immediate harm to support your argument through witness statements or other available evidence.
• False allegations: It may be possible to prove that the allegations against you are false and being used to hurt you, such as in a custody battle or to obtain compensation from you.
• Creating uncertainty: Our legal team may build a case that creates reasonable doubt, meaning you cannot be convicted of the crime because there is reason to believe you did not do so.
• Context of claims: In verbal or emotional abuse claims, our legal team will provide insight that can clarify the context of the situation. Past experiences and mental health concerns may also be helpful.
• Police errors: In some situations, the transfer of evidence or other police-related mistakes could make your case no longer valid.

Our legal team brings with it confidence, years of proven trial experience, and a dedication to providing our clients with exceptional legal insight no matter how much evidence the prosecutor has against you. 

When you hire a former Assistant United States Attorney to work on your case, one that has helped convict people of serious crimes, you gain the upper hand in knowing how the prosecutor is thinking and likely to act. This can make a critical difference in the outcome of your case, so be sure to review our frequently asked questions to learn more.
