Domestic Violence, Domestic Battery, and Restraining Orders

Wisconsin Domestic Violence Lawyers

Domestic violence, assault and battery, child abuse, etc. are all serious charges. Even if the person making the accusation agrees to drop the charges, the accused person will still be arrested, charged, and possibly convicted. An experienced and skilled Wisconsin dometic violence lawyer is necessary to fight the charges, minimize large fines, and keep the accused out of jail.

At the Law Offices of Matthew H. Huppertz, S.C., of Waukesha, Wisconsin, our domestic violence lawyers have over 30 years of combined experience helping people throughout Southeastern Wisconsin avoid serious punishments. Contact us and the first meeting with our defense attorneys is on us.

The Laws in Wisconsin: Domestic Violence

Lawyers working on domestic violence or assault and battery charges deal with many different types of cases, including those involving:

  • Simple battery
  • Child abuse
  • Domestic abuse
  • False imprisonment
  • Disorderly conduct
  • Aggravated battery
  • Restraining orders defense

As we mentioned before, even if the alleged victim agrees to drop the charges, the state will continue its prosecution. A guilty plea should not be filed, because it can then be used in a civil action, in which the person that was allegedly abused can sue for damages.

Possible Punishments

Not only can a conviction of domestic violence or assault and battery result in jail time, it can also result in the following consequences:

  • Firearm prohibition: You lose the right to use a gun, even if only for hunting.
  • No contact order: You lose the right to have any contact with the alleged victim.
  • Alcohol prohibition: You are not allowed to buy or drink alcoholic beverages.

However, there are ways to avoid such serious punishments. Our Wisconsin domestic violence lawyers know how to prove a client’s innocence in court. Even if innocence cannot be proven, we can get you into a treatment or counseling program that will get the charges reduced or dismissed.
