For a civilian, being charged with domestic violence has serious consequences. For a member of the military however, a conviction for domestic violence is even worse. It ends a military career.
But a service member facing a domestic violence charge should remember this important fact: every criminal charge has defenses. With the help of an experienced defense attorney, it may be possible to get a charge dismissed or gain an acquittal. It may also be possible to minimize the consequences while retaining your military rank and career.
