Whether you are innocent, were defending yourself, or there is some truth to the accusations, an East Brunswick spousal abuse lawyer should be contacted at once. There have been many cases in the past in which an individual accuses a spouse of abuse in order to seek a more favorable outcome in a divorce proceeding or custody battle.

I am attorney Ryan E. Gilbert, and I can personally handle your case. My goal is to reduce the consequences for you, however possible, legally. I have practiced criminal defense law for over 25 years, and have a great deal of insight into how to best manage the defense against a criminal accusation of spousal abuse or domestic violence.

What to Expect in a Spousal Abuse Case

A spousal abuse conviction can lead to a jail sentence.

The length of the sentence will depend on the following factors:

• Whether there was bodily harm
• Your prior record for domestic abuse or a violent crime

You may be forced to live separately from your family if there has been a restraining order, and you may lose custody and visitation rights. The first step to take is to get an East Brunswick criminal attorney on your side. The earlier my firm gets involved in your case, the better.

As the consequences of a conviction are so severe, it is imperative that you act at once. Even if you are completely innocent, were defending yourself, or there were other factors involved, the penalties imposed upon you could be significant.

You could face the following and more:

• Prison time
• Treatment
• Restitution
• Other punishments
