Michigan Domestic Violence Lawyer Paul J. Tafelski Discusses the Possibility of Recovering from a Domestic Violence Charge

Nov 17, 2022

November 17, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Michigan domestic violence lawyer Paul J. Tafelski (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/blog/can-people-recover-from-a-domestic-violence-charge/) releases a blog post that discusses whether people who are charged with domestic violence are able to recover. The lawyer mentions that most of the time, people do move on and recover. Domestic violence can occur in almost any type of socioeconomic situation and many who are accused of domestic violence are actually first-time offenders.

According to the Michigan domestic violence lawyer, “Most of our clients accused of domestic violence are people who really don’t have any kind of significant criminal history and it was just either a bad day or a relationship that is deteriorating or a situation where the person who called the police never even wanted them to get arrested themselves and just the police took over the situation and made an arrest, so, yes, this is not a crime that is committed just by criminals, this is the type of thing that can happen to anybody.”

The lawyer explains that the first thing a person needs to know when facing domestic violence charges is that Michigan takes these charges seriously. Even if the incident was very minor, the court is still going to take it very seriously. This is why it is important to have an attorney to help an individual understand the process and explain the next best steps to them.

Attorney Paul J. Tafelski adds that custody rights are going to be determined by the family law court if there is a divorce case or a custody case. Protective services may also have a say in the custody case. Domestic violence may be one factor that the courts will look at when dealing with custody. The courts will make sure that the domestic violence was not against the children.

In the article, attorney Tafelski adds, “One of the most disappointing realizations for people convicted of domestic violence is that the sentence doesn’t end after they have completed their probation or served their time. The conviction will follow them wherever they go. Many of these consequences can lead to financial hardship, which can make it even harder for you to manage your finances. Even before the trial, financial hardship can begin. These orders (common to these accusations) require you to leave your home and stop all contact with the victim.”

Lastly, attorney Paul Tafelski encourages those who are charged with domestic violence to seek the help of an experienced domestic violence defense lawyer. Having a skilled lawyer may be able to help the defendant fight for their rights and protect their freedom.
