Connecticut Domestic Violence Attorneys By Your Side

Connecticut has numerous laws regarding domestic violence, which is referred to as family violence under the state's regulations. Although punishment for these offenses depends on the circumstances surrounding the situation, the end results can still leave you facing severe penalties that can impact the rest of your life. If you have been charged with domestic violence, you need to reach out to the Law Offices of Pat Brown to determine the best path forward under the circumstances.

What Is Domestic Violence?

In Connecticut, it is illegal for anyone to physically assault, threaten, or stalk another individual, even if they are a family member or household member, or someone you may have dated in the past. This includes a spouse, former spouse, parents, children, individuals related by marriage or blood, roommates, and people you are currently in a relationship with or used to be in a relationship with.

Domestic Violence Outcomes

There are many different criminal charges that fall under the umbrella of family violence if the criminal act involves people in the same family or household. These criminal acts include assault, making threats, strangulation, sexual assault, and murder or manslaughter. Depending on which offense you are charged with, you can be looking at thousands of dollars in fines and years of prison time.
