    Frequently Asked Domestic Violence Questions:

    How does a protective order affect my rights in Maryland?

    A protective order can require you to leave your home, stay away from the petitioner, surrender firearms, and limit contact with your children. Violating a protective order is a separate criminal offense. Our attorneys can represent you at protective order hearings to challenge unwarranted restrictions.

    What are the penalties for domestic violence in Maryland?

    Penalties depend on the specific charges filed, which may include assault, violation of a protective order, or other offenses. Consequences can range from probation and mandatory counseling to significant jail time and permanent criminal records affecting custody and employment.

    Can domestic violence charges be dropped in Maryland?

    While the alleged victim can request that charges be dropped, the final decision rests with the prosecutor. Our attorneys work to present evidence and arguments that may persuade the prosecution to reduce or dismiss charges based on the facts of the case.

    What happens after a domestic violence accusation in Maryland?

    The alleged victim or law enforcement may seek a protective order, and criminal charges may be filed. You could face restrictions on where you can live, limits on child custody, and potential arrest. It is critical to contact an attorney immediately to begin protecting your rights.
