Re: what to do on domestic violence
By all means, your sister should have an attorney.
These days a domestic violence charge has far reaching consequences. In addition to the loss of the right to possess firearms (which can severely restrict the freedoms of others in the household), a domestic violence conviction can affect her career options, participation in youth sports and activities and possible entry into other countries.
There is more to every case than simply guilt or innocence. Only an experienced attorney can advise a defendant on all aspects of defending against a criminal charge.
