Do you need an attorney?
If convicted of domestic violence in Ohio, the penalties are serious. You can face a maximum jail term of 180 days, probation, batterers intervention program or anger management classes as a condition of probation, fines, restitution, and a permanent criminal record.
Brian C. Morrissey is a defense lawyer who effectively represents individuals accused of domestic violence. Mr. Morrissey has defended numerous cases of domestic violence in court. Prosecutors, police officers, and the State of Ohio take domestic violence charges very seriously. An officer called to the scene of a domestic disturbance will likely arrest at least one person if domestic abuse is alleged. Prosecutors also have the ability to file the charge, regardless of whether the alleged victim is cooperating in the prosecution of the case.
​Additionally, a conviction of domestic violence can be a permanent part of a criminal record and can preclude a person from ever legally carrying or owning a firearm.

What is Domestic Violence?
The Ohio Revised Code states that "No person shall knowingly cause or attempt to cause physical harm to a family or household member".
The Prosecution must prove all of those elements beyond a reasonable doubt in order to prevail at trial. They do not need to prove physical harm, a person can get convicted if the Prosecution can prove that the accused only attempted to cause physical harm.
