Allegations of domestic violence can have very serious consequences for you and your family. In addition to stiff criminal penalties, if you are accused of domestic or family violence you may be served with a protective order preventing you from spending time with your children and other members of your household. You could also be restricted from returning to your home and prohibited from possessing a firearm. With so much at risk, it is important to seek advice from a Virginia defense attorney with extensive experience handling domestic violence cases.
