Our Harrisburg domestic violence lawyers advise people facing any felony or misdemeanor charge related to domestic violence:

• Domestic assault
• Family assault
• Violation of an order for protection from abuse
• Violation of a protection order through stalking, harassment or prohibited contact

While a first-offense domestic assault that does not result in injury will typically be charged as a misdemeanor, the consequences of a conviction can be more serious than you'd think. You'll lose your gun rights during any period that a protection order remains in effect, and you can face occupational licensing problems in certain professions. The risk of a contempt citation for even unintentional violations of a protection order can also create a serious problem for the defendant.
