An Arrest Is NOT A Conviction

If you have been charged with Domestic Violence, Domestic Battery or Domestic Assault, you owe it to yourself to obtain experienced and knowledgeable legal advice.

Bukaty Law Offices, P.A. routinely defends clients charged with these and similar offenses. Domestic violence charges often begin as minor disagreements and then escalate into more serious verbal or physical altercations.

Domestic violence laws are rigorously enforced in both Missouri and Kansas. These laws are interpreted by local police agencies in such a way that almost any time law enforcement is called to the scene of an incident between persons related to one another or living together, at least one individual is taken into custody and goes to jail. This is true even if neither party to the incident actually contacted the police or even if no one wishes to press charges.

Potential Consequences

Domestic Violence charges may originate from threats of harm or verbal abuse or from physical contact such as touching, slapping or kicking. Domestic violence can be charged as a felony depending upon the circumstances but is more often charged as a misdemeanor. In either case, it can carry jail time and can seriously impact your life. For example, it can lead to a “No Contact” order, requirements to attend anger management classes and can cause individuals to be denied the ability to purchase firearms.
