BOSTON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LAWYER

Domestic Violence Defense Attorney in Boston Massachusetts

Domestic violence is the psychological, sexual, or physical abuse of a family member, relative, or loved one. Spousal abuse and domestic abuse are also forms of domestic violence. Domestic violence crimes can take the form of threats, force, and/or assault. In many domestic violence situations, there is a history of abuse that continues until authorities are notified.

When police are notified of the domestic violence, the accused perpetrator is taken into police custody and removed from their residence. Boston law enforcement and district attorneys investigate and prosecute domestic violence cases rigorously. Even false accusations of domestic violence can cause significant legal scrutiny for the accused.

In Boston, domestic violence is usually a misdemeanor charge. Charges and penalties can escalate if the individual accused has a criminal record, has domestic violence convictions in their past, or if the individual charged caused considerable physical harm to the victim. Legal penalties for a domestic violence conviction can be jail, probation, restraining orders, fines, counseling, and community service.
