Virginia Domestic Violence Attorney

Allegations of domestic violence can have very serious consequences for you and your family.  In addition to stiff criminal penalties, if you are accused of domestic or family violence you may be served with a protective order preventing you from spending time with your children and other members of your household.  You could also be restricted from returning to your home and prohibited from possessing a firearm. With so much at risk, it is important to seek advice from a Virginia defense attorney with extensive experience handling domestic violence cases.

Casey R. Stevens and Lisa K. Caruso are skilled criminal defense lawyers who help clients deal with difficult situations involving domestic violence charges and accusations.  As former prosecutors, we know that the Commonwealth of Virginia takes a very serious stance against domestic violence. A domestic violence charge can result in a misdemeanor or felony conviction, carrying substantial fines and the possibility of a lengthy period of incarceration.  Beyond the criminal penalties, a domestic violence conviction is likely to damage your reputation and make it very difficult to find a job or obtain a loan or housing in the future.
