Understanding Domestic Violence Charges in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, domestic violence is not a separate criminal charge—it is an umbrella term for various offenses such as assault, harassment, stalking, terroristic threats, and strangulation when they involve a spouse, partner, family member, or household member.

These cases are prosecuted under Pennsylvania law, including the Protection from Abuse (PFA) Act (23 Pa. C.S. § 6101 et seq.), which defines domestic violence as a range of behaviors, including:

  • Physical harm or attempted harm
  • Sexual assault or rape
  • Stalking or harassment
  • False imprisonment
  • Threats that cause fear of immediate bodily harm

Depending on the circumstances, domestic violence-related charges can range from misdemeanors to serious felonies, carrying potential consequences such as fines, probation, or significant jail time.

However, the impact of these accusations often extends beyond the courtroom. A domestic violence charge can lead to:

  • Protective orders restricting access to your home and family
  • Loss of child custody or visitation rights
  • Court-ordered counseling or anger management programs
  • A permanent criminal record which can affect employment, housing, and reputation

At Benjamin Levine Law, LLC, we understand that being accused of domestic violence does not make you guilty. Our experienced criminal defense team fights to protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and seek the best possible outcome for your case.

Defending Against Domestic Violence Charges

At Benjamin Levine Law, LLC, we understand that an accusation does not equal guilt. Our legal team carefully examines every detail of your case to build a strong defense, ensuring your rights are protected. Depending on the circumstances, our Butler County attorneys may use one or more of the following defense strategies against domestic violence allegations:

False Allegations

In some cases, domestic violence accusations arise from misunderstandings, personal conflicts, or as leverage in divorce or custody disputes. If you have been falsely accused, we will work to uncover inconsistencies and expose false claims.

Self-Defense

If you acted to protect yourself or someone else from harm, we will present evidence that supports your right to defend yourself. While some prosecutors argue that both parties share the blame, we will thoroughly investigate to determine who the primary aggressor was.

Lack of Evidence

It is the prosecution’s burden to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence against you is weak or based on assumptions rather than facts, we will challenge it at every turn.

Mistaken Identity

While less common in domestic violence cases, mistaken identity does happen. If the evidence suggests someone else was responsible, we will fight to clear your name.
