Domestic Violence

 Over the past twenty years Domestic Violence has become a growing problem in California.  As the rules and laws change so must your criminal defense attorney.   The new tougher and more aggressive laws can create a life altering experience.  Once the police have been called to evaluate a claim of Domestic Violence there is a high probability that the accused will be arrested and taken to jail.  No matter what the spouse wants.  No matter what has really happened or whose fault it was.  In many cases all it takes is the claim of a violent act to have an innocent person taken to jail.   
 
If a person is arrested for domestic violence bail will usually be set at the felony level.  The individual will not be allowed to leave jail until either bail is posted or their case is resolved.  The government will place a restraining order that will prohibit all contact with the alleged victim.  This can result in the loss of ones job, liberty and in many cases family rights.
 

What is Domestic Violence?

 
While the laws are very broad Domestic Violence is  basically defined as any offense such as simple assault,  threats, child abuse, sex charges or even murder.  Domestic Violence charges extend to all family members, co-habitants, ex-cohabitants, people who are dating, an ex-spouse, or people related to you by blood or marriage.  If you are accused of anything like this you will need immediate representation of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
There is no such thing as “Dropping the Charges.”

The District Attorney Office will vigorously prosecute a charge or claim of Domestic Violence.  In many cases the alleged victim will not want to “press charges” and request that the charges be dropped.  Even when they go to court the DA will not dismiss the case.  In most cases the District Attorney’s Office will seek to have the accused placed into jail.  Once you call the police you have lost most of your rights to stop a prosecution.  The case becomes the “Peoples” case not yours.  While new laws have changed this somewhat you will need an qualified attorney to help you understand your options if you wish to either press charges or drop them.
