Domestic Violence. Aggravated Assault. Battery
Violent crime charges in Michigan include domestic violence, aggravated assault, and battery. Depending on the circumstances, these offenses may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, often carrying jail time, probation, fines, and a permanent criminal record.
A conviction can also impact your right to own firearms, future employment, and family relationships. Early and skilled defense is critical to protecting your freedom and reputation.
