Missouri police and prosecutors take domestic violence cases seriously. A conviction for Domestic Assault can have life altering consequences, including but not limited to a jail or prison sentence, the inability to legally own or purchase a firearm, substantial fines, the loss of child custody/visitation and a permanent criminal record. 

However, just because you have been accused of domestic violence, doesn't mean you should be convicted. In every Domestic Violence case, there are two sides to the story.
