Can women be charged with domestic violence in Michigan?

Yes, women are charged with domestic violence in Michigan on a regular basis.  I will say that I work with 3-4x times more men, because they arrested on a more regular basis, because one, they commit the offense more, and two, the stereotype is they commit the crime more so they get arrested even though it's more of a mutual thing.  Women also tend to use domestic violence and calling the police as a threat against a man in my experience.

I've also found it a bit easier to work out great deals for women due to the overwhelming male/female stereotype at the courthouse - this is good news for women clients, but not great news for male clients although there are a number of great paths to a favorable outcome for men.

In a recent Michigan Incident Crime Reporting study, 90,274 incidents of domestic violence were reported; of course many were not reported.  

Age of offender was most frequent in the 20-29 range with 31,044 incidents with 30-39 and 40-49 coming up next.  Of these offenders, 65,460 were men, making 24,788 women charged with domestic violence,  over 21,000 happened between a boyfriend and girlfriend, over 11,000 deemed to be "ex" relationships and almost 11,000 were against a spouse who the defendant is currently married to.  

In terms of injuries, almost 33,000 DV incidents has no injury, and almost 31,000 had a minor injury.  I have never represented a client who has caused anything more than a "minor" injury.  I want to work with people who act in a manner, which the result is unexpected or simply goes one step too far, not to the level of purposely injuring someone severely where there's a major injury or near fatality.  

The counties in Michigan with the most DV incidents where I practice are the following: 

Genesee - 5,313

Ingham - 2,697

Jackson - 1,534

Kalamazoo - 3,270

Kent - 4,078

Macomb - 7,454

Monroe - 1,698

Washtenaw - 2,664

Wayne - 26,251
