Silver Spring Domestic Violence Lawyer

Protecting Those Falsely Accused of Domestic Abuse in Maryland

At one time or another, most couples find that they have a disagreement. In some circumstances, emotions can run high and an exchange of words can escalate to a heated dispute and, ultimately, a physical altercation.

If your spouse, partner, significant other, or any person that you share a residence with assumed that you could cause serious physical harm to them or you did cause physical harm, then you may be charged with domestic violence.

Domestic Violence Penalties

If you are facing domestic violence charges in Maryland, you could be charged with either a misdemeanor or felony conviction depending on the circumstances of the case. This could lead to the following domestic violence penalties:

• Jail Time
• Fines
• Loss of gun ownership rights
• Separation from your children
• Restraining Orders

Your Rights During a Domestic Violence Arrest

Officers who respond to a call of a domestic disturbance need very little evidence in order to detain you. As long as there is a witness statement and evidence of injury, you could be placed under arrest and charged with domestic violence. If you are arrested, it is important to remember that you have rights.

Anything you say can be held against you in a court of law, so we recommend that you remain silent. Although it may seem like a good time to object to the arrest and try to tell your side of the story, you need to remain silent.

You always have the right to a criminal defense attorney, and it is imperative that you exercise this right.
