I have been charged with domestic violence (felony) for slapping my mentally abusive boyfriend. I really don't want to go to jail, so I'm thinking of fighting it. Any knowledgeable advice appreciated.Need a bit of legal help/advice!?
Hire a good lawyer.
Period.
Do what he tells youNeed a bit of legal help/advice!?
As you have heard you need to, right now, contact an attorney, make an appointment and get this going the right way for you. DO NOT try this on your own in the courtroom or you will end up exactly where you said you do not want to go...JAIL. Don't think about it anymore. GET AN ATTORNEY NOW.
Hopefully you've learned a valuable lesson too. Slapping anyone, whether they are verbally abusive or not is against the law. You had ample opportunity to walk away from him and chose instead to slap him and you made the wrong choice and now you will have to pay for it either via the money you'll spend on the attorney or the time you spend in jail...or both. Yes, both for it could happen even with an attorney but you cannot afford the chance of going it alone.
Unless you hear from someone here who is an attorney take the advice given with a grain of salt. You need legal representation now. Don't wait. Don't pass go. Get one.
Hire a lawyer. Also make a list of any witnesses that you told your problems to and if any one saw you getting mentally abuse or any of his ex girlfriends, maybe they had the same problem. Hope it helps
My advice: Call a lawyer immediately.
Lawyer baby!
you'll be fine, trust me
