Domestic violence charges negatively impact your reputation more than some charges, regardless if charged as a misdemeanor or felony. A domestic violence conviction can ruin your hopes and dreams. Here are just a few examples:
- Some employers, especially public or state employers, can terminate you or reject your application
- professional licenses may no longer be available to you
- child custody (keeping, losing, or fighting for)
- renting or leasing
- finding employment
- reduction in earning potential
