Murfreesboro Domestic Assault Lawyer

Domestic assault, also known as domestic violence, occurs when an assault takes place against someone who is related by blood, marriage, a dating relationship, or even a roommate of the defendant. 

Assaults can be caused by:

  • inflicting physical bodily injury to another person
  • creating physical contact with another person that is extremely offensive or provocative
  • causing another person to fear imminent bodily injury

In other words, no actual physical contact must take place for someone to be charged with assault.
