Misdemeanor charge & effects on career

My brother just got charged with 2 misdemeanor counts of domestic violence. He is a government lawyer. How will this charge affect his career and life?

Answer #1

He will still be able to work. Clients rarely check the back grounds of their lawyers. He would probably get disbarred with a felony, but he doesn’t have one. He would be wise to channel that energy of whatever is causing the DV charges in a different way. Reading an anger management book (since it was a DV charge, I am assuming that it was anger related), or if the misdemeanor charges are bogus, like mine, he has to find ways to deal with cunniving deceivers. If he is a lawyer, that shouldn’t be a problem because they take classes on learning how to deal with jerks who slap bogus charges on people.
