Phoenix, Arizona Domestic Violence (Interfering with Judicial Proceedings) Defense
Most domestic violence 'crimes' result from the violation of an order of protection (restraining order). Even if the violation is innocuous, such as a late phone call to a child or an ex-spouse's initiation of contact while an order is in effect, the case will be prosecuted as Interfering with Judicial Proceedings. In some instances, these cases are prosecuted as felonies.
Some domestic violence cases involve weapons or injury. This type of case is prosecuted even more aggressively. Sadly, the recent social trends highlighting domestic violence have now carried into the courtroom causing prosecutors to go after these cases, even if the victim refuses prosecution.
If you are convicted of any domestic violence offense, misdemeanor or felony, you will lose many rights including the right to own or possess firearms. You may also lose other civil rights including the right to vote. |
