Lynnwood Domestic Violence Lawyer

Interfering With Reporting Domestic Violence

If you have been charged with committing domestic violence, you can also be charged with interfering with reporting domestic violence if you in any way prevent or attempt to prevent the victim from reporting the crime. This entails cutting off the victim's means of calling 911, preventing reporting to the police department or a law enforcement officer, or from obtaining medical assistance.  This charge is a gross misdemeanor which is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $5000. fine.

If you have been charged with this crime, contact a domestic violence defense attorney from the Law Office of Lance Fryrear to get the experienced defense you will need to protect your rights.  With this type of offense, you will almost always be facing a domestic violence charge as well. Your strongest defense against interference with reporting domestic violence is that no domestic violence occured. Having been a former prosecutor who handled countless numbers of these cases, I may be able to help you with both charges. I know exactly what the prosecutors are looking for when pursuing charges, and when you tell me your side of the story, I will know which defenses apply in your case.
