Domestic Violence
Being charged with domestic violence can leave an ugly stain on your record and an ugly taste in the mouths of your employer, family members, and friends. In many cases, though, a domestic violence charge is unwarranted, and many people aren’t even aware of why the charge was brought against them. In California, domestic violence laws are complex and harsh. In most jurisdictions, a policy is in place requiring law enforcement to make an arrest when they are called to your residence for any alleged dispute.
