A domestic violence conviction is a conviction on your permanent record, and could negatively impact you when completing job applications, school admissions, licensing board applications, and permit applications such as a permit to carry a firearm. In addition, a domestic violence conviction can have a profound impact if you are not a United States citizen, as you may face deportation. Lastly, if you are involved in a child custody dispute, allegations of domestic violence can be devastating.
