Long Island Domestic Violence Lawyer Jason Bassett Explains How New York State Law Defines Domestic Violence
Feb 20, 2023
Long Island domestic violence lawyer Jason Bassett (https://jbassettlaw.com/how-does-new-york-state-law-define-domestic-violence/) releases a new article explaining how New York State Law defines domestic violence. The lawyer mentions that Domestic violence is a serious issue that affects millions of people around the world. In the state of New York, there are specific laws that define and address domestic violence.
According to the Long Island domestic violence lawyer, “When domestic violence is reported, the police will attempt to determine the identity of the aggressor by interviewing the people involved, as well as any witnesses. New York State has mandatory arrest laws requiring the police to make an arrest when they have reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed an act of domestic violence.”
The Long Island domestic violence lawyer further explains that New York State Law defines domestic violence as a pattern of abusive behavior used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another person in an intimate relationship. This can include physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, and economic abuse. In New York, domestic violence can occur between current or former spouses, people who are or were in a romantic or dating relationship, people who have a child in common, or family members related by blood or marriage.
Attorney Jason Bassett adds that the New York State Penal Law recognizes several different criminal offenses related to domestic violence. These include assault, menacing, reckless endangerment, strangulation, and coercion, among others. The severity of the offense and the resulting penalties will depend on the specific circumstances of the case.
The article also notes that New York State Law provides various protections for victims of domestic violence. These include orders of protection, which can be obtained through the courts and require the abuser to stay away from the victim and refrain from any further abusive behavior. In some cases, the abuser may also be required to attend counseling or other forms of intervention.
In the article, the lawyer says, “Depending on the degree of injury and whether or not a weapon was used, someone accused of domestic violence could be charged with some level of Assault or Harassment in the Second Degree. If there was an Order of Protection already issued for the alleged victim, then the charges could include misdemeanor or felony Criminal Contempt.”
Lastly, attorney Bassett encourages those who are accused of domestic violence to seek the guidance of an experienced domestic violence lawyer. A skilled lawyer may be able to help the defendant understand their options and where they stand in the case.
