Assault and Domestic Violence Charges

South Carolina Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer

Diversionary programs as an alternative to jail

In many cases, there are alternatives to jail if you are convicted of a domestic violence charge. South Carolina offers diversionary programs, such as pretrial intervention, that are designed to help you resolve the psychological issues that lead to domestic violence. Successful completion of these programs can also result in having the charge and conviction expunged from your record.
