Usually refers to the use of physical force against a cohabitant. Commonly known as battery on someone with whom the defendant has or had a domestic relationship. Domestic Violence does not need to be only physical, however. Threats and intimidation directed toward your significant other, also come under the definition of Domestic Violence or “DV” as it is commonly referred to by the Los Angeles courts. It often does not matter who was the person who summoned the police and often times, the local police departments in the Los Angeles County area have been making felony arrests with even the most minor visible injuries, if any.

The consequences of a conviction for Domestic Violence are harsh as well. Such punishment may include incarceration, community labor, extensive anger management classes and fines.

EARLY INTERVENTION BY COUNSEL IN KEY TO A PROPER DEFENSE

It is extremely important to have an experienced and knowledgeable attorney begin working on your case as early as possible. Critical issues, such as how your particular case will be filed and what charges will be leveled against you, are decided, many a time, very soon after your arrest or during the investigatory period. Early intervention gives us an opportunity to potentially reduce or dismiss either felony or misdemeanor charges against you before the first court date.

Over the years we have successfully represented many clients charged with domestic violence as described above. We have observed that the longer one postpones in hiring counsel, the greater the problem may become.
