A Domestic Violence offense may be brought at both the felony and misdemeanor level. Most domestic violence cases are handled in county or municipal court at the misdemeanor level. The most common offenses charged are Third Degree Assault, Harassment, Criminal Mischief, Violation of a Protection Order, Obstruction and Disorderly Conduct.
Domestic Violence defense is a tricky area of criminal law because of the police conduct involved and often the lack of a complaining witness who wants charges pursued. On many occasions, someone charged with domestic violence offenses thinks that because the complaining witness does not want to proceed, the case will work itself out without the necessity of an attorney. This misinformed assumption often leads to a conviction and incarceration despite what the complaining witness wants.
