Understanding Domestic Violence Charges in Michigan

Michigan law defines domestic violence as an assault or battery committed against a:

  • Spouse or former spouse
  • Current or former dating partner
  • Co-parent of a child
  • Resident or former resident of the same household

Penalties for a first-time offense can include:

  • Up to 93 days in jail
  • Fines up to $500
  • Mandatory counseling or anger management programs
  • Protective orders restricting contact with the alleged victim

A second or subsequent offense carries enhanced penalties, including longer jail sentences and higher fines.

How We Defend Domestic Violence Cases

Our legal team explores all possible defenses, including:

  • False allegations: Proving the accusations are untrue or exaggerated.
  • Self-defense: Demonstrating that you acted to protect yourself from harm.
  • Lack of evidence: Challenging the prosecution’s case if there is insufficient proof.
  • Violation of rights: Ensuring law enforcement followed proper procedures during your arrest.
