Long Island Domestic Violence Attorney Edward Palermo Explains the Penalties for Domestic Abuse
Oct 12, 2022
October 12, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Long Island domestic violence attorney Edward Palermo (https://edpalermo.com/long-island-domestic-violence-attorney/) releases a new article explaining the penalties for domestic abuse. The lawyer mentions that in New York, authorities take domestic violence cases very seriously. A person facing domestic violence charges will be aggressively prosecuted. Most New York police departments will be required to arrest a person who has been reported for domestic violence.
“Domestic violence cases are so labeled based on the victim's relationship with the defendant. New York courts call domestic violence cases family offenses. Family offenses are crimes committed against members of the same household or family. However, the actual definition goes much further than this,” says the Long Island domestic violence attorney.
The lawyer explains that a protection order is often sought by someone who reports a domestic violence incident. Most of the time, a family court handles these types of orders. However, a criminal court may issue temporary protection orders if the domestic violence situation includes stalking, sexual misconduct, and sexual violence.
Attorney Edward Palermo says that domestic violence cases can cause a great deal of emotional turmoil not only for the victim but also for the accused. People usually try to cool down over time and try to admit that the allegations were untrue. However, despite this, an accuser is not allowed to withdraw from the case once the police have filed the charges.
In the article, attorney Ed Palermo adds, “The severity of the penalty usually depends on the type of domestic violence charge. Disorderly conduct is one of the least serious domestic violence crimes. It is classified as a violation. If you are convicted, the maximum sentence you can receive is 15 days imprisonment and a $250 fine. However, many domestic violence crimes are almost always misdemeanors or felonies. If you are convicted, you could be sent to prison for multiple years.”
Lastly, attorney Palermo emphasizes the importance of having a skilled criminal defense lawyer when facing domestic violence charges. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant protect their rights and their freedom.
