Verbal Abuse

When a person is arrested on charges of domestic violence, he or she is usually arrested for committing violent acts in the home. In some instances, verbal abuse may escalate to actual physical abuse. Anger and frustration are very common at home and among family members, and sometimes arguments may escalate to using extremely harsh words. However, it is important to realize that there is a distinction between physical and verbal abuse, and it is possible for individuals to be wrongly charged with committing physical abuse.

If you have been charged with domestic abuse, it is important to immediately consult a criminal defense attorney. Contact the Milwaukee domestic violence attorneys of Hart Powell, S.C., at 414- 271-9595 to learn more about your legal rights and options.
