What Is Considered Domestic Violence in Arizona?

Domestic violence in Arizona is not a standalone charge. It refers to crimes that occur between people in a specific type of relationship, such as spouses, romantic partners, family members, or those who share a household. Charges that may be labeled as domestic violence include assault, criminal damage, disorderly conduct, threats, or harassment.

Consequences of a Domestic Violence Conviction

If you are convicted of domestic violence in Arizona, the penalties can include:

• Jail time or prison

A conviction can also result in a permanent criminal record, which may affect your job, housing, and future opportunities.

Defending Domestic Violence Charges in Casa Grande

Our goal is to resolve your case with the least possible impact on your life.

Protective Orders and No-Contact Orders

Domestic violence charges often involve protective orders issued by the court. These may prohibit you from contacting the other person or returning to your home.

You may be booked into jail, given a court date, and face a protective order. It's important to contact a defense attorney as soon as possible to begin building your case and addressing the court's restrictions.
