Being Accused of Domestic Violence is Very Serious

Domestic Violence has a broad definition in California. It may consist of the slightest unwanted physical contact, even when no injury results. If a 911 call is made regarding a domestic disturbance, there is a very good chance that someone will be arrested and charged with a Domestic Violence offense. California law requires law enforcement officers responding to a call for even the most minor incident of Domestic Violence to arrest the person who they deem to be the dominant aggressor. If convicted, and often upon being charged, the court will impose a restraining order and the accused will have a loss of certain rights. The consequences of a domestic violence conviction can last a lifetime.

  • Do Not Delay in Getting Representation.
  • Do Not Represent Yourself.
  • Do Not Discuss Your Case With Anyone.
  • Do Not Sign Anything.
  • Do Not Waive Your Rights.

Law enforcement and district attorneys are hired to convict you. Public defenders and court-appointed lawyers are also hired and paid by the government and they don’t have the time to give your case personal attention. When you are arrested, you should immediately call an experienced, private attorney.
