Frequently Asked Questions - Domestic Violence Defense in Fannin County

What happens if I'm arrested for domestic violence in Fannin County?

You’ll likely be taken to Fannin County Jail and may have to appear before a magistrate for a bond hearing. The court may issue a temporary protective order keeping you away from the alleged victim. Having an attorney present at your bond hearing can make a significant difference in the conditions of your release.
Yes, but it’s not automatic. Even if the alleged victim wants to drop charges, the Fannin County District Attorney can still pursue prosecution. However, an experienced defense attorney can work with prosecutors to reduce or dismiss charges when the evidence is weak or the case lacks merit.
Domestic violence convictions can seriously impact custody and visitation rights in Georgia. Courts consider these convictions when determining the best interests of the child. This is why fighting the charges—not just accepting a plea deal—is often critical for parents.
Simple misdemeanor cases can resolve in 2-6 months, while felony domestic violence cases may take 6-18 months or longer if they go to trial. Having experienced local counsel can help expedite resolution while protecting your rights.
Simple domestic violence (misdemeanor) involves causing visible injury or acts in a violent manner. Aggravated domestic violence (felony) involves serious injury, use of weapons, or violating protective orders. Felony charges carry much harsher penalties and long-term consequences.
