Understanding Domestic Violence Charges in Michigan

Assault or battery against a spouse, former spouse, partner, or household member (aka domestic violence)
Aggravated domestic violence
Interference with electronic communications
Stalking
Felonious Assault
Assault by strangulation
Assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder

Even without visible injuries, allegations can lead to serious legal consequences. It’s crucial to have knowledgeable legal representation to protect your rights.

Domestic violence convictions can result in:

Up to 93 days in jail for a first offense
Fines and court costs
Mandatory counseling or anger management
