Will I lose my job and career if charged with domestic violence in Michigan?

5/11/2017

 
Nothing about a domestic violence charge means you're going to lose your job.  When a client is charged with domestic violence, it is NOT a conviction or a criminal record.  An employer or prospective employer may be able to see a pending charge, which may bring questions, but unless a background check is being done on you, the police and court will not notify your job that you're charged with a crime. 

It's always my goal for a client to avoid a criminal conviction for domestic violence.  If we're able to do that then an employer or prospective employer will not be able to see the case because it will be a non-public record and they will not have access.  

A domestic violence case or even a conviction is unlikely to have a direct impact on your job or career, but might indirectly impact your life.  If you're kicked out of your home, and forced to live out of a suitcase, how will you be able to dress for work? If you only have one car in your household and your wife or husband has it during the case, how will you get to work? Things like this would be the reason why your job or career could be impacted.  Planning early with your lawyer and having a plan in place to succeed is the key to getting over the hump when charged with domestic violence
