Los Angeles, Orange & Ventura Domestic Violence Attorneys

Domestic violence—or the suspicion of domestic violence—affects every member of the household. If you or a family member has been charged with domestic violence, we need to take immediate action on your behalf to deal with the incident.

In 1984, when the California Legislature enacted the Law Enforcement Response to Domestic Violence Act (Penal Code 13700-13731), it stated:

"A significant number of homicides, aggravated assaults, and assaults and batteries occur within the home between adult members of families. Research has shown that 35 to 40 percent of all assaults are related to domestic violence."

Were you arrested for domestic violence? You need a Los Angeles, Orange or Ventura domestic violence lawyer immediately. A domestic violence abuse charge can affect your freedom, your reputation, and your relationships with the most important people in your life—your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
I was arrested for Spousal Battery but my wife was upset and says she made a mistake when she called the police. Can she have the domestic violence charges against me dropped?
No, only the District Attorney can drop the charges against you and this is unlikely to occur. A victim of domestic violence or what is commonly called spousal or co-habitant battery often attempts to recant the statement they made to police in order to have the charges dropped against an abusive spouse. In the past this has led to a cycle of continuous abuse. The District Attorney's Office prefers to file charges and let the courts decide issues of domestic violence.
