The Intricacies of Domestic Violence Battery Charges

Battery committed against specific individuals in your family and/or household, such as spouses, ex-spouses, or cohabitants, can elevate a domestic violence offense to include battery. This is further broken up into a range of charges, each with distinct characteristics and differing consequences for a conviction.

  • Simple Battery. This is the most basic form of battery in a domestic setting. It entails any intentional and unlawful physical contact inflicted upon a family member, partner, or housemate without causing significant bodily harm.
  • Battery Resulting in Substantial Bodily Harm. These injuries might include broken bones, deep cuts, or other physical damage that require medical attention. The legal system prosecutes such incidents harshly due to the potentially life-altering implications for the victim.
  • Battery by Strangulation. This charge focuses on incidents where an individual chokes or restricts the breathing of a family member, partner, or cohabitant. A conviction carries potentially harsh penalties due to the imminent life-threatening nature of strangulation.
  • Battery Against Vulnerable Persons. Certain individuals, like children, elderly family members, or those with disabilities, are more vulnerable to abuse. Battery against these groups in a domestic context carries stiff penalties.
  • Battery with a Deadly Weapon. When a perpetrator uses a weapon in a domestic violence incident, it significantly escalates the severity of the charge. This category covers incidents where items such as knives, guns, or any other weapon are used to threaten or inflict harm.

    "I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for."
    I met with Mr. Goodman who answered all my questions and knew his stuff.  I decided to hire a less expensive attorney but was not happy with the progress ended up being a waste of money with the other guy. I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.
