FAQs About Domestic Violence Cases in New York
We know you probably have a lot of questions about your domestic abuse case. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear: Q: Can domestic violence charges be dropped in New York? A: It's possible, but not guaranteed. In New York, prosecutors have discretion over whether to pursue charges, even if the alleged victim wants them dropped. That's why it's crucial to have an experienced attorney advocating for you. Q: What if the alleged victim doesn't want to press charges? A: The decision to press charges ultimately lies with the prosecutor, not the alleged victim. However, if the victim is uncooperative, it can make the case more difficult to prove. We can use this to negotiate for reduced or dismissed charges in some cases. Q: Will I automatically lose my gun rights if convicted of domestic violence? A: In most cases, yes.
Federal law prohibits gun ownership for those convicted of domestic violence offenses. However, there may be ways to preserve your rights depending on the specific charges and circumstances. Q: How long does a domestic violence case typically take to resolve? A: It varies widely depending on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of weeks, while others may take months or even over a year. We'll work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while still fighting for the best outcome.
