The severity of the domestic violence crime will often determine the severity of the punishment. Most Federal Way domestic violence cases are classified as gross misdemeanors, with convictions resulting in up to a year in jail and fines totaling $5,000. If the victim of the violence suffers any injuries, the charge could be elevated to a felony. If the accused has prior domestic abuse convictions, the charge could be further elevated to a Class C felony, with penalties of up to five years in jail and fines of $10,000.

Our Federal Way Domestic Violence Attorneys Offer A Free Evaluation Of Your Case

Domestic ViolenceWhen a police officer responds to a domestic dispute situation, they often arrest the party who appears to be the aggressor, whether they are or not. The prosecutor usually seeks a conviction in these cases, even if the alleged victim doesn't want to press formal charges. No-contact orders are routinely issued in these situations, which prevents either party from initiating contact with the other party.

Sometimes the alleged victim is awarded a protection order and if the order is violated, it may lead to another arrest and further charges. This outcome should be avoided at all costs because it would make it even more difficult for your attorney to mitigate the impact of the original charge.
