Mississippi Domestic Violence Laws & Penalties

In Mississippi, domestic violence is seen as a misdemeanor offense and is labeled as "Simple Domestic Violence"; however, these penalties can increase to felony charges if a person is charged with "Aggravated Domestic Violence." Aggravated domestic violence is defined as attempting to cause serious bodily injury, intentionally causing serious bodily injury with an extreme indifference to human life, and causing bodily injury with a deadly weapon.

A conviction for simple or aggravated domestic violence could result in:

  • Jail time
  • Fines
  • Protection orders against the accused
  • Sanctions against a professional license
  • Limited or revoked child visitation rights
  • Mandatory counseling
  • Loss of gun privileges
  • A permanent mark on your record that cannot be expunged

Domestic Violence Defense Strategies

Domestic violence is taken very seriously in Mississippi, and crimes related to domestic violence are aggressively prosecuted. Whatever your specific situation, our skilled defense attorney can provide a strong legal strategy on your behalf to help reduce the charges or dismiss them altogether.

Common factors that we consider when developing a solid defense case include:

  • Was the defendant found present at or near the scene of the crime?
  • Are the victim’s injuries consistent with the law enforcement’s report?
  • Is the investigation complete and accurate?
  • Was the situation an accident?
  • Were the defendant’s actions done in self-defense?
  • Is there physical evidence that establishes assault by the defendant?
  • Did the victim cause or contribute to the actions of the defendant?
