Pearland Domestic Violence Lawyer
Domestic violence is a serious charge that can result in restraining orders, jail time, probation, counseling and fines—not to mention a criminal record that you will always have to explain to future employers and people you meet. When you or a loved one have been accused of domestic violence, seek the assistance of a criminal defense attorney who has experience handling these types of cases.
You can be charged with domestic violence anytime you have a serious altercation (physical or verbal) with someone with whom you share a residence, are related to or have had a romantic relationship with in the past. Altercations that can be considered domestic abuse include physical harm, threat of physical harm, emotional abuse and harassment.
When domestic violence has been alleged, a restraining order is usually put in place. This can require you to leave your home (even if you own it or make the payments) and not have any contact with the person who filed a complaint against you.
Hiring an attorney as soon as you are accused of domestic violence is the best action you can take to protect your future. A domestic violence conviction can not only impact any licenses you may hold (professional or otherwise), but impact custody and visitation decisions regarding your children. Make sure your best interests are protected by contacting Pearland attorney James Zier today.
Attorney James Zier has experience helping protect the rights of the accused. He will be a loyal and dedicated advocate for you and your rights and fight for your best interest every step of the way.
