Theft and Assault Charged as Domestic Violence

Responsive help from Seattle theft domestic violence attorneys

In the state of Washington, allegations of domestic violence are taken very seriously. What may have started out as a moment of confusion and anger between family members, or household members who are not related, may lead to felony or misdemeanor criminal charges that can adversely affect your life. As soon as you find out that a complaint has been filed or a no-contact order issued, you should speak with one of the experienced Seattle domestic assault attorneys at the Law Offices of James Newton, PLLC to protect yourself against the serious consequences of a domestic violence allegation.

Strong defense from experienced domestic violence assault lawyers in Seattle

Domestic violence goes well beyond the strict definition of a violent act between family members. Any crime — including harassment, malicious mischief, theft and assault — can be charged as a domestic violence offense when perpetrated by one family or household member against another. That means that even stealing cash from a roommate can result in a domestic violence charge.

And if you are convicted of a domestic violence crime of any type, you will lose your right to possess firearms for life. Additional consequences may include:

Prison time Inability to return to your home

Limited access to your partner or your children Mandatory enrollment in a domestic violence treatment program
