Facing a domestic violence allegation in Arizona can feel overwhelming. In this video, the Jackson White Law Firm’s Phoenix criminal defense team explains how Arizona approaches domestic violence cases, what happens after an arrest, and the steps you can take to protect your rights.
What Counts as “Domestic Violence” in Arizona?
Arizona treats certain crimes as “domestic violence” when there’s a qualifying relationship (spouse, dating partner, co-parent, family/household member). Under this umbrella, charges may include assault, disorderly conduct, threats/intimidation, criminal damage, unlawful imprisonment, interfering with judicial proceedings (violating a protective order), and more. Penalties can escalate based on prior convictions, alleged injuries, weapons, and the presence of children.
Potential Consequences
Jail or prison time, fines, probation, and mandatory counseling
Protective/no-contact orders affecting where you live and who you can contact
Firearm restrictions and immigration/employment impacts
Long-term effects on custody and professional licensing
Common Defenses We Explore
Self-defense or defense of others
Insufficient evidence or unreliable testimony
False accusation or motive to fabricate
Lack of intent or misidentification
Constitutional issues (unlawful stop, search, or statements)
What To Do Next
1. *Use your right to remain silent* and be respectful.
2. *Do not violate* any protective or release conditions.
3. *Preserve evidence* (texts, call logs, photos, witness names).
4. *Speak with a defense attorney early* to assess options, challenge conditions, and engage with prosecutors proactively.
