Domestic Violence Maryland Assault Battery Lawyers Attorneys
Maryland Defense Attorneys
Assault & Battery/Domestic Violence
In Maryland, assault & battery is generally when one person touches or attempts to touch another without consent of the person being touched or acting in a threatening manner, thereby causing another to be in fear of immediate harm.
In the past, assault was different from battery. Assault was the threat of an unwanted touching. Battery was the actual touching. Now Maryland does not distinguish between the terms and the term assault & battery is used interchangeably.
Domestic violence is a form of assault and battery in Maryland.
In Maryland, domestic violence is the assault & battery on a household member or family by another household member.
In the past, domestic violence was not paid a lot of attention to by the justice system in Maryland. Society viewed it as a family matter and deemed that the parties would resolve their differences without third party intervention. In the recent past, society’s attitude has changed towards domestic violence. The Maryland courts now treat domestic violence very seriously. The family member, who is usually the spouse in Maryland can no longer have the charges dropped by telling the prosecutor or the court that they do not wish the family member charged to be prosecuted. Once the police are called, usually the matter of whether the family member is prosecuted is no longer up to the alleged victim.
A number of factors will determine the punishment of the person who is convicted of domestic violence in Maryland. Some of the factors are the severity of the victim injuries, whether a minor was present (and even worse, if the minor saw the domestic violence or was a victim of the domestic violence) and lastly whether this is the first time the person has been convicted of domestic violence.
In a number of states such as Maryland, a third or subsequent offense of domestic violence can result with being convicted of a felony.

Maryland Criminal Appellate Attorneys
The SRIS Law Group, P.C. has a number of excellent Maryland criminal appellate attorneys. Our Maryland criminal appeal attorneys can provide you with appellate representation before the Maryland Courts of Appeals & Supreme Courts in Maryland and the Federal Courts. We also handle misdemeanor appeals from the district courts of Maryland.
A criminal appeal is filed in Maryland when someone has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.
The justice system is not perfect. Even judges & juries can make mistakes. The mistake can be an evidentiary error, criminal procedural or sentencing error. If you believe an error has occurred, then your only remedy to get a new trial or have the verdict set aside is to file a writ or appeal the criminal conviction.
Some of the most common reasons to file an appeal are: an evidentiary error was made by the trial judge and a piece of evidence at trial was improperly admitted, refusing to suppress evidence that should have been suppressed under either the state’s constitution or under the United States Constitution or ineffective assistance of counsel by the attorney who handled the trial.
Lately, due to the stricter enforcement by the Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (BCIS), formerly known as the INS, a number of our clients in Maryland are suddenly being served with removal (deportation) notices due to the fact that they plead guilty to a crime that had immigration consequences.
Unfortunately, at the time of the plea to the crime, the Maryland attorney who represented them did not advise them of the immigration consequences of a guilty plea to the crime. Many clients are not aware that they do have a remedy if this has happened to them. So they meekly accept the deportation order and leave the United States.
We have successfully appealed these convictions to the higher court and had the convictions amended to an offense that does not result in a removal action or obtained a new trial for the client.
Many people do not realize that a clock starts ticking after a conviction.
