Domestic violence in criminal law can take on many forms. If you’re charged with an assault against a family member or spouse or someone you have a child in common with, it’s automatically going to be labeled a domestic violence offense. In New York state, currently with the new bail reform laws, most of the misdemeanor domestic violence charges, for example, are not eligible for bail. But one type of offense that is, is anything involving domestic violence.

If you’re charged with domestic violence, you will not be eligible for an appearance ticket. You will have to be brought into the precinct and made to see a judge. Depending on the nature of the allegation, there may or may not be a bail eligible offense levied against you.

Michael is absolutely amazing as is his staff! He is not only a spectacular attorney, but he is a wonderful human being. His professionalism transcends words and he makes you feel cared for and is wonderful at putting your psyche at ease. Moreover, his connections and abilities in the courtroom is where Michael Matera truly shines through. In nearly 40 years of life, I have never needed an attorney and when I recently found myself in need of one, he came highly recommended from multiple sources. I would and I intend on, referring Michael to anyone in need of an attorney who has your best interest at heart and will fight for you for every inch. I also wanted to state that Mr. Matera is available and accommodating anytime I need to speak with him. I hope this review helps anyone and everyone who is in need of someone to stand up and fight for you when you make a mistake and need someone in your corner.
