Domestic Violence

Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Domestic Violence Lawyers

Defending Clients Charged with Domestic Violence and Domestic Battery

Domestic violence, assault and battery, and child abuse are all very serious charges with an incredibly destructive effect on families and lives.

Complicating the situation are "no drop" policies — even if your spouse or partner wants to drop the charges, the prosecution will virtually never do so. The person accused will still be arrested, charged, and possibly convicted.

If you have been accused of domestic violence, you need an experienced and skilled criminal defense attorney to fight the charges, minimize the possibility of jail time, and help you find a way to resolve the situation outside of the court system.

At Huppertz & Dorow, S.C., we have more than 35 years of experience defending clients in Waukesha, Wisconsin throughout southeastern Wisconsin who are facing allegations of family violence.

Consequences of a Domestic Violence Conviction

First, be very careful before considering a guilty plea, which could be used against you in a civil action.

Not only can domestic violence conviction result in jail time, it can also result in:

• Firearms prohibition - You could lose the right to use a gun, even for hunting.
• No contact order - You could lose the right to have contact with the alleged victim, even essential contact such as meeting shared financial obligations or arranging visitation with your children.
• Limited custody rights to your children.

If your best strategy is a plea agreement, we can get you into a treatment or counseling program that may reduce your charges or sentence.
