Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin
What possible charges could someone face for breaking a door during an argument and pinning his girlfriend onto the bed?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and battery are the most common domestic abuse charges in WI. However, felonies such as false imprisonment or sexual assault are possible depending upon the facts. If you are involved in one of these, hiring an experienced criminal lawyer early in the process, before you are charged, can sometimes even help you to avoid a criminal record.
