Question

My mother was arrested yesterday for domestic violence. What kind of punishment are we looking at?



Answer

It depends on many things:

What (if any) charges the DA files.

Whether any charges filed are a felony or a misdemeanor.

The facts of the case

Her prior record (if any).

There are just to many variables to guess as to what may happen. But before focusing on punishment, why not have an attorney represent her to look for factual or legal defenses or other ways to defend her rather than just wondering how much trouble she's in?
