Your rights and hiring a domestic violence lawyer in San Diego are vital to your case and standing in the community. Mistakes can easily occur during arguments that can lead to inadvertent calls to police resulting in domestic violence charges. THESE charges hold possible serious penalties.
Unfortunately, the harsh truth is that most people accused of domestic violence often find themselves without a proper understanding of their rights, and what they can do to get the help they need. A small bit of legal advice can make an enormous difference throughout domestic violence proceedings, and our dedicated and experienced domestic violence lawyers can help you resolve your case with the discretion and sensitivity it deserves.
It is very important to keep in mind that once a domestic violence call has been made in San Diego, the local authorities will continue with prosecution with or without the help of the battered person. San Diego law enforcement will still press charges regardless if there are witnesses or if there has been reconciliation between the partners.
Caifornia Domestic Violence Laws have been updated in 2001 to increase protection to not only between two married people, but also to former spouses and cohabitants (Penal Code §243(e) and 273.5)
Domestic violence is an act of physical violence in the home. Domestic violence is usually perpetrated by the woman's partner but a woman can also be charged with domestic violence against her partner. Spousal abuse, assault, battery, threatening phone calls, stalking and intentional interference of communication are all domestic violence offenses in San Diego.
Domestic abuse is one of the most misunderstood crimes in 21st century America. Part of the confusion that stems from this situation is the definition of spousal abuse varies from municipality to municipality, and even from person to person. What one person might consider justified may to another appear to be severely abusive and potentially dangerous.
