Q: I was recently charged with domestic assault and vandalism under 1000. What is the typical Consequence for this?
I went to my exs house to pick up items that we had discussed me getting earlier in the week. He was mad that I came to get things he did not want me to take and when we walked onto his porch, he turned around and pushed me. I picked up the closest thing to me to protect myself and threw it, busting his window out instead of hitting him. I was charged with domestic assault for intending to hit him and vandalism under 1000. I have one prior expunged record but no other issues with the law.

A: Hire a competent attorney now. DA is worst than some Felonies. A conviction will ruin your life. You need it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged. Expect to make Restitution. Do not plead guilty under any condition than Diversion.
