These charges can result in marital counseling, domestic violence counseling, anger management, alcohol abuse classes, restraining orders, and jail time—even when the so-called victim chooses not to press charges. In the State of Nevada, once the police have charged an individual with domestic violence, the state prosecutors will go forward with the charges in nearly all cases.
These charges can also affect your personal and professional life, especially if you are faced with incarceration in a county jail, city jail, or state prison. It is possible to get a conviction on a false allegation of domestic violence if you do not fight the charges with an experienced attorney.
