Domestic Violence 2nd Offense Lawyer
If you are charged for a Battery Domestic Violence for the second time within seven years of the close of your previous case, you will be charged with a Battery Domestic Violence 2nd, which is a Misdemeanor in Las Vegas, Nevada. To be clear, your previous Domestic Violence conviction does not have to be from Las Vegas. Regardless of what State you received your previous conviction, Nevada can and will use that prior conviction to upgrade your offense to a Domestic Violence 2nd. It’s vital to work with a domestic violence 2nd offense lawyer in Nevada like Michael Troiano to have the strongest defense possible for your case.
The consequences of a conviction for a Domestic Violence 2nd are severe. If convicted the Judge is required to sentence you anywhere from 10 days up to six months of jail, a fine of up to $1,000, up to 200 hours of community service, and domestic violence counseling classes at least once a week for 6-12 months. Additionally, you are not eligible to seal your criminal record for seven years after your case is closed.
