In the State of Oklahoma, the penalties for committing an assault and battery upon a person with whom you are in a relationship or to whom you are related are more severe than the average stranger assault and battery case. In fact, while simple assault and battery can never subject you to a felony charge, if you commit simple assault and battery against a relative or spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend, and are convicted of such crime once before, you will be facing a FELONY charge the second or subsequent time. Also, if you are charged with any sort of violent crimes (Assault and Battery with a Dangerous or Deadly Weapon, Burglary, Robbery, Murder, etc.) and the alleged victim is either a family member or a spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend, your case will most likely be classified as a domestic type crime. It is very important for you to hire an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable about how to defend such charges. Because domestic abuse charges are volatile, it is crucial for you to get an attorney involved immediately to begin to build your defense and work to prevent such charges from becoming a part of your record for life.
