"Domestic violence" in Arizona is a designation, not a separate crime. Under ARS §13-3601, certain offenses (assault, disorderly conduct, criminal damage, threats, kidnapping, harassment, etc.) become DV when the parties share a domestic relationship — spouses, former spouses, romantic partners, parents and children, or other household relationships.

Even a misdemeanor DV conviction carries: mandatory 26-week DV counseling, firearm prohibition under federal law (the Lautenberg Amendment, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9)), no-contact orders, possible jail, and a permanent record. Aggravated DV charges (third DV offense within 84 months, choking, weapon involvement) are felonies.

• Modify or lift release conditions and no-contact orders.
• Defend Order of Protection / Injunction Against Harassment hearings.
• Interview the alleged victim — when ethical and permitted — through an investigator.
