Domestic violence is a criminal charge, and it involves potentially life-altering consequences. If you injure your spouse or a live-in romantic partner intentionally, you could be facing a third-degree assault charge at minimum, which is a misdemeanor in Delaware. Experienced and ardent criminal defense representation and counsel is critical to your case.
At Stumpf, Vickers & Sandy P.A., our attorneys understand the nuances and sometimes inaccurate claims of domestic violence cases, which could just be misunderstandings. Charges may be used as acts of revenge between spouses involved in custody, divorce, other family law battles or simply as a means for one spouse to obtain a no-contact order. Partners John Sandy and Vincent Vickers have been practicing exclusively in criminal law since the 1970s. Located in Georgetown, our attorneys are former Sussex County prosecutors who have been working together in criminal defense practice since 1983. Our law firm can provide perspective and resourceful representation.

Delaware Domestic Assault Charge Lawyers
Domestic assault conviction, a misdemeanor, includes up to one year in prison, up to a $2,300 fine, restitution and other conditions the court deems appropriate such as banning firearm possession for five years. Use of a deadly weapon in a domestic assault charge increases penalties, including mandatory imprisonment and fines, and offenders lose the right to possess a firearm for the rest of their lives.
Our devoted representation in and out of the courtroom can protect your rights proactively and cost-effectively. Whether your domestic violence case constitutes battery, assault, disorderly conduct or destruction of property, we can provide you with thoroughly prepared and committed defense.
