Most Battery Domestic Violence cases in the state of Nevada are misdemeanors, i.e. no deadly weapon involved, no strangulation, not a third offense, etc. Nevada law states that most misdemeanors crimes can be sealed two years after the case has been completed, but Battery Domestic Violence is different. A Battery Domestic Violence case cannot be sealed for 7 years after completion. This means 7 years after everything has been finished in the case, including the mandatory 26 to 52 weeks of counseling and your informal probation. This is yet another penalty for a Battery Domestic Violence conviction that many defendants never know about. The additional time defendants must wait to seal their records makes it even more important to have a strong defense before it is too late.
