A Legal Overview of Arizona Domestic Violence
Legally, domestic violence is not confined to acts against a spouse. In Arizona, domestic violence laws apply to spouses, unmarried partners, former spouses and partners, people who are dating, and the elderly.
Domestic Violence is taken very seriously by the Arizona state legislature, the courts and state and local law enforcement agencies. New and existing laws are enforced zealously, and prosecution for domestic violence no longer depends on the alleged victim pressing charges.
Likewise, the consequences of a conviction on a charge of domestic violence can be serious. Regardless of whether the charge is a felony or misdemeanor, a conviction may result in jail time and the loss of your right to own a gun. A Felony conviction will also result in the loss of your right to vote.

Arizona Dangerous Offense Attorney
In Arizona, most violent crimes can be elevated to a dangerous offense if the person charged showed a weapon or a dangerous instrument while the crime was being committed. The weapon does not have to be used, perhaps only exhibited or displayed during the commission of the alleged crime for dangerous offense charges to be filed. Attorney Michael Ziton works hard to reduce or eliminate dangerous offense allegations so that our clients can maintain their freedom and keep the family together.
We understand that the biggest fear in domestic violence cases is going to jail. We know the system. As an Arizona lawyer for over 25 years and a former domestic violence prosecutor, Attorney Michael Ziton understands how police conduct investigations and how prosecutors prepare cases. Having an experienced lawyer guide you through the criminal process can be the difference between serving a life sentence in prison and maintaining your freedom.
