Domestic Violence

Dealing With Domestic Violence Cases

If you have been charged and/or arrested for domestic violence, you need the immediate consultation and expertise of a criminal defense attorney who will competently and aggressively defend your rights.  Often times, persons accused of such crimes jeopardize their case by doing things prior to consulting with a lawyer, including contacting and leaving messages with the alleged victim,  which may later hinder there chances of getting the best possible results in their case, namely DISMISSAL of the charges.

In California, especially after the OJ Simpson case, prosecutors and police take complaints of domestic violence very seriously and often times seek inappropriate penalties for technical violations of the law. 

Generally, spousal abuse could be any type of battery committed against a spouse.  The case can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the seriousness of the injuries to the spouse.  Domestic violence includes a battery, threat or abuse against a cohabitant, child abuse, elder abuse, abuse against a boyfriend or girlfriend who are living together along with abuse to a husband or wife.   Whether or not a domestic violence charge will be filed as a misdemeanor or felony depends on the type of injury incurred by an alleged victim.
