Domestic Complaint: What happens if the couple reconciles after a complaint?

If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is important to make sure you have proper legal representation.

While there are cases where these accusations are false, not having the right counsel can lead to severe penalties such as fines or even imprisonment.

As a criminal defence and personal injury lawyer with more than 15 years of experience defending thousands of people in Virginia, I want to assure you that taking domestic violence or domestic assault cases seriously is critical in this state.

 

What happens if the couple reconciles after a domestic violence complaint?

 

A common question I receive is, "What happens if the couple reconciles after a domestic violence complaint?"

The answer is that once charges are filed, they cannot be dropped.

The victim becomes a witness in the case and the state handles the entire process and determines the verdict.

It is important to mention that even if the victim decides to drop the charges once the process has begun, it is no longer possible.

 

What to do if I am accused of domestic violence?

 

If you are accused of domestic violence, it is important to take immediate action to protect your freedom and your reputation.

The first thing you should do is find a domestic violence attorney to guide you through the legal process and provide you with the best possible defense.

It is important to remember that even if the allegations are false, facing a trial without the help of an experienced attorney can have serious consequences.

In addition to seeking an attorney, it is important to remain calm and not talk to anyone about the case except your attorney.

It is also important not to underestimate the seriousness of the allegations and to take steps to prepare for trial.

The charge can be serious if you are not a citizen.

 

In addition, it is important to mention that this is a serious case in which, if you are not a U.S. citizen, you may even be deported.

However, with the right counsel and defense, as well as the right evidence to argue in your favor in court, you may be able to have your conviction suspended.

As your attorneys, we can help you with your defense and provide you with the necessary advice throughout the process.

It is important to remember that regardless of your immigration status, you have rights.
