Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose my gun rights?
The Federal Gun Control Act of 1968 has been amended to prohibit firearm possession by those convicted of certain crimes, including domestic violence. If convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, for example, you will face a lifetime ban of buying, owning, and possessing firearms and ammunition. At Russell Law Group, we can work to seek out a plea agreement or trial outcome that will allow you to maintain your Second Amendment rights.
My spouse doesn’t want to press charges anymore. Will the case just go away?
No. Only the prosecutor can decide whether to press charges or to drop the case. Your spouse’s cooperation may influence their decision but it is not the sole deciding factor.
I didn’t even hurt anyone. Why was I charged?
Any form of offensive touching may be enough to have you charged with assault or domestic violence. Actually causing an injury isn’t required for the police to arrest and charge you with a crime.
Can I be found guilty even when the only evidence is ‘he-said-she-said’?
Yes, you definitely can. Many domestic violence and assault defendants have been convicted when the only evidence was testimonial. The state must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, but if a witness is found credible by a judge or jury, the witness’s testimony alone can be enough to convict.
