CRIMINAL DEFENSE

SIMPLE ASSAULT & ASSAULT ON A FEMALE

Many domestic disputes often result in cross-warrants of criminal charges including Assault on a Female or Simple Assault. These charges should be taken very serious, especially Assault on a Female, which is a Class A-1 Misdemeanor. Both of these charges face potential jail time, depending on your criminal record. If you have an accompanying 50B/ Domestic Violence Protective Order, it is important to retain an attorney who has experience in both the criminal and civil case, as the civil case can negatively affect your criminal charges. Speak with Attorney Spidell about your criminal charges today!

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROTECTIVE ORDES

If you have taken out a restraining order/ domestic violence protective order, commonly known as a 50B, or have been served with one, please contact our office for a consultation. These are time-sensitive, as they normally have a court date within 10 days. These Orders are Civil in nature (meaning no possibility of jail time) so many people say "I don't want to see him or her anyway" but consenting to a  50B  could have serious consequences If you are alleged to have violated a restraining order, that is a criminal charge and could result in a conviction on your criminal record. Contact us today to  discuss your case.
