The Consequences of a Conviction

Depending on the facts of your case, a domestic violence conviction could result in jail time, probation, community service, court-ordered anger management counseling and a monetary fine. One significant consequence of a conviction for domestic violence is the possible loss of your right to own a firearm. This can be particularly difficult if you are a police officer or other professional required to carry a firearm in the performance of your job.
