Huntsville Domestic Violence Defense Attorneys

Have you been accused of physical abuse, mental abuse or sexually abuse a family member, spouse or ex-spouse? If so, you will most likely face domestic violence charges. In Alabama, domestic violence is classified as a violent crime and depending upon the severity, it may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony offense. Due to the nature and circumstances of a domestic violence crime, a person may be sentenced to many years behind bars, fines, victim restitution, counseling, probation and/or parole.

Domestic violence can be roughly categorized into three types of abuse. The first type of abuse is physical abuse and it may include: hitting, punching, kicking, pushing, shoving, slapping and spanking. The second type of abuse is mental abuse. It may include: name calling, belittling and many other emotionally traumatizing words or actions. The third and final type of abuse is sexual abuse.

Experienced Huntsville domestic violence attorneys Andrew and Sandra Segal may be able to help you when you have been accused of any type of domestic violence crime or are currently the subject of a criminal investigation.
