Domestic Violence

Cataldo Law Offices, L.L.C. — Franklin, Massachusetts

An argument between family members can have far reaching consequences. Under Massachusetts law, if the police are called to a domestic dispute, arresting a suspect is the preferred way to deal with the issue. Therefore, it is likely that if the police are called to someone’s house that someone will be arrested.

A conviction for domestic violence can lead to jail time and a host of other consequences. A domestic violence conviction can prevent one from keeping or obtaining a firearm or lose child custody or visitation rights.

Given the stakes involved, if you have been charged with domestic violence, it is imperative to seek an effective criminal defense attorney to represent your interests. At Cataldo Law Offices, L.L.C., we provide this type of defense.
