Las Vegas Battery by Strangulation Defense Attorney

Domestic Violence Defense in Clark County

Domestic violence is a serious concern in Las Vegas, encompassing various forms of unlawful physical force or violence committed against individuals within the context of familial or domestic relationships. This can include acts of aggression towards family members, dating partners, cohabitants (such as roommates), or relatives. One specific charge within this spectrum is domestic battery by strangulation.

One may be charged with this crime if they were accused of using physical force to restrict a person's airflow, posing a grave risk to their safety. Like all domestic violence charges, being accused of domestic battery by strangulation can have far-reaching consequences. The potential fallout can be especially devastating if the accusation arises from a misunderstanding or false allegations. 

When such allegations emerge, it's crucial to seek an attorney to help uncover the truth. Accused individuals face potential legal penalties and damage to their reputation and personal life. At Goodman Law Group, we fight to ensure your side of the story is told and your rights are protected in court. 

If you’ve been accused of battery by strangulation in Las Vegas or the surrounding communities across Clark County, call our firm at (702) 825-7854 to schedule a free consultation. 

Potential Penalties for Battery by Strangulation Convictions 

Under Assembly Bill 164, a significant legal change has been introduced in Nevada regarding incidents of domestic battery that involve strangulation. This legislation has elevated such cases to felony charges, signifying the seriousness with which the state views these acts. To better understand the implications, it's essential to delve into the specifics stipulated in the Nevada Revised Statutes, section 200.481.

According to this statute, individuals accused of domestic battery involving strangulation can be charged with either a Category B or a Category C felony, depending on the circumstances and severity of the offense. These two categories carry distinct penalties, including:

  • Category B Felony: Conviction can result in a sentence of one to 20 years of incarceration in addition to fines of up to $10,000.
  • Category C Felony: Those found guilty of this offense may face a prison sentence ranging from one to five years. Convicted individuals may also be liable for fines of up to $15,000.

It's essential to note that specific criminal charges and penalties can vary depending on several factors, including the identity of the victim, whether the accused has a prior criminal record, and whether a deadly weapon was involved in the incident. 

Moreover, it's crucial to recognize that incidents of battery by strangulation can escalate to even more severe criminal charges, such as attempted murder. Conviction on an attempted murder charge can result in even more severe penalties, including lengthy imprisonment.

I switched and hired Mr. Goodman and could not have been more impressed with the outcome. You do get what you pay for. I should have gone with my gut reaction at the beginning that would have saved me anxiety, time, and money. Don’t make the same mistake.
