Yes. If you are convicted of a domestic violence offense (e.g. simple assault, aggravated assault, terroristic threats, harassment, stalking, etc.), then you may be sentenced to jail or even prison. While some of those offenses typically do not result in prison, offenses like aggravated assault and terroristic threats can a real possibility of this type of punishment. You may also be sentenced to jail time if you are convicted of a disorderly persons offense for simple assault or harassment, or even for a restraining order violation. A domestic violence lawyer can help you understand the specific consequences you risk as a result of the domestic violence charges you’re facing.
