Domestic Violence
In recent years, California laws regarding domestic violence
have undergone several changes. The office of the District
Attorney is now aggressively prosecuting all reported incidents
of violence in the home. Today, such crimes are prosecuted
even in cases where the victim refuses to press charges or
recants initial claims of abuse. In many cases, prosecutors
will file charges against alleged abusers in the absence of
victims or witnesses. The penalties for domestic violence
can range from probation and anger management/battery counseling
for first-time offenders, to felony charges and incarceration
in severe cases. If you have been arrested for domestic violence,
contact a competent attorney specializing in this area immediately
to protect your rights. If you would like to receive a consultation
