Moore Oklahoma Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

The penalties for domestic violence in Oklahoma can be severe.

A first offense is typically charged as a misdemeanor, with a potential sentence of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $5,000.

However, if the victim was injured or a weapon was involved, the charge may be elevated to a felony, resulting in a potential sentence of up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Subsequent offenses may result in even harsher penalties.

In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for domestic violence charges is typically three years from the date of the alleged crime.

This means that a victim has up to three years from the time of the incident to file charges against the perpetrator. However, in cases involving serious bodily injury or death, there is no statute of limitations.
