Domestic Assault Defense Attorneys In Minnesota
The charge of domestic assault, or domestic violence, has unfortunately become very common. It occurs when an individual either physically assaults a family or household member, or that they do something seen from the victim’s perspective to be intimidating with a threat that physical violence may occur. If you are currently needing an experienced domestic assault defense attorney in St. Cloud who will fight for your rights, you’ve come to the right place.
A first offense is generally a Misdemeanor level, meaning it is punishable by jail for up to 90 days, a $1000.00 fine, or both. However, if the assault involves strangulation, it is considered a Felony with far more severe consequences.
Levels also increase to a Gross Misdemeanor if it is a second offense in a 10 year period, bringing the penalty of jail up to one year, a fine of $3000.00, or both. A third such offense in the 10 year period results in a Felony with prison time and an increased fine amount.
