Domestic Violence Crimes are treated extremely seriously in Oklahoma. If you are faced with these charges you will need a qualified Oklahoma Criminal Defense Attorney.  A conviction, or plea of guilty in some circumstances, can affect your job prospects,  your ability to legally own a firearm under Federal law.  A first-time conviction, even for a misdemeanor, carries up to a year in the county jail in addition to a fine of up to $5,000.

Felony domestic violence charges are even more serious.  A conviction for felony domestic violence can carry up to four years in the penitentiary and a fine of up to $5,000. Domestic Abuse by Strangulation carries a minimum of one year in prison with a maximum of three years.  Even a probationary sentence for almost any type of domestic violence carries with it a mandatory 52-week counseling course.

Before becoming an Oklahoma Defense Attorney, I prosecuted hundreds and hundreds of domestic violence crimes. I have the needed experience to help you or a loved one face this very serious accusation. If you find yourself charged with such a crime, my Oklahoma City Law Firm would be happy to provide you with an excellent defense strategy.
