Conviction for a 2nd Offense carries a minimum of 30 days in jail and up to 1 year.Criminal Domestic Violence or CDV has become a hot button issue
in recent years. With the Attorney General naming it a crisis in the Palmetto State, and releasing the statistic that there are 36,000 domestic violence incidents reported each year, it is no wonder we have seen ramped up penalties from the legislature.

trying hundreds of CDV cases while working for the City of North Charleston.

your rights and help you through a scary and difficult process.
