Domestic Violence Charges in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyers
Over the past few decades, the Pennsylvania legislature and Pennsylvania law enforcement agencies have increased efforts to curb incidents of domestic violence. As a result, anyone charged with an assault of their spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, or significant live-in partner now faces the possibility of severe criminal penalties if convicted of a domestic violence charge.
People accused of domestic violence may be charged with simple assault or aggravated assault depending on the nature and severity of their alleged offense. Potential penalties for a domestic violence conviction include incarceration, monetary fines, long periods of probation, loss of the right to possess firearms, and the imposition of a Protection From Abuse order (PFA) that can be in effect for up to three years.
