What Are False Domestic Battery Allegations?
False domestic battery allegations are untrue allegations that center on domestic battery. Just as an example, if your partner accuses you of hitting them, even though you didn’t, this would be a false domestic battery allegation.
A domestic battery conviction can seriously impact your life. That’s on top of the resentment, anger, and stress that you may experience, on top of the other penalties, due to the false nature of the allegations against you.
Even if you are not convicted of domestic battery, a domestic battery allegation can greatly affect your life. Not for the better, either – you could lose friends and your reputation will likely be weakened; among other possibilities.
What Happens If You Are Convicted Of Domestic Battery?
A domestic battery conviction in Illinois can lead to one year in jail, as well as a fine of no more than $2,500. You may also need to pay damages to your accuser, depending on the false domestic battery allegations made against you, those potentially include their attorney’s fees.
Outside of the legal/civil consequences of a domestic battery conviction, you may have a much more difficult time obtaining a job. Or even obtain certain licenses and housing, among quite a few other things.
How Can An Attorney Help?
An attorney can help you by gathering evidence that refutes every single one of the false domestic battery allegations made against you.
To go along with the above, your attorney will present this evidence to the court. And, they will do so in a way that gets you the “Not Guilty” verdict you deserve.
You are not your worst moment. Failure is something that happens—not something you are. It’s a chapter in your story, not the title of the book. What matters is what you do next. If you learn, if you choose differently, if you take responsibility and grow—you’ve already succeeded in a way many never do. Don’t let shame write your future. Let strength, resilience, and truth do that , .
The legal process is complex. This is why, on top of helping you obtain the verdict you are owed, our attorneys at Glasgow & Olsson will work with you, every step of the way, to make sure you receive the support you need.
