Whether you’re dealing with state or federal charges, our firm provides skilled, client-centered representation to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome.

Understanding Domestic Assault Charges

Domestic assault charges in Virginia involve allegations of violence or threats against a family or household member, including:

• Spouses or former spouses

• Parents or children

• Co-parents of a child

• Individuals who live or have lived together

These charges often carry significant consequences, including:

• Jail time or fines

• A permanent criminal record

• Loss of firearm rights

• Employment and housing challenges

• Potential impact on child custody or visitation rights

Even if the alleged victim does not wish to pursue charges, prosecutors often proceed with the case. Having experienced legal representation is crucial to protecting your rights.

Defense Against Protection Order Violations

Violating a protection order—whether a temporary, preliminary, or permanent order—can lead to severe penalties. Common violations include:

• Failing to adhere to no-contact provisions

• Entering restricted locations

• Communicating via phone, text, or social media

• Violating custody or visitation terms

Virginia courts take these violations seriously, often imposing additional penalties that can include jail time and extended orders. At The Flynn Law Firm, we work to minimize the impact of these allegations on your life while protecting your rights and freedom.
