Domestic Assault

In Massachusetts, Domestic Assault is a charge where the penalties are identical to straight assault, but the outcome can easily become much more serious.

Domestic assault laws & penalties call for a maximum sentence of 2 1/2 years in jail and a fine of $1000. Domestic assault is a very political charge, and police and prosecutors can be difficult to deal with. You’ll need a skilled criminal defense lawyer to represent you as early as possible.

You see, the District Attorney’s can’t afford to be considered “soft” on domestic assault or a domestic abuse case, so even a weak or trivial case that can technically be construed as domestic assault will result in your being arrested.

And if you are the “victim” of domestic assault, and want the charges dropped, that isn’t simple either.
