When determining how to fight a domestic violence charge, we focus on the point of impact — the initial police report. By exposing inconsistencies in the accuser’s statement, identifying signs of self-defense, or highlighting a lack of corroborating evidence, we dismantle the prosecution’s narrative. We don’t wait for the court date; we proactively intervene to seek a rejection of charges before the first hearing.
Yes. Felony domestic violence can often be prosecuted as a misdemeanor depending on the facts and the defendant’s history. We present mitigating factors to the District Attorney, advocating for a reduction in charges to preserve your civil rights, professional licensing, and firearm ownership.
Clearing a DV charge is a vital step in restoring your professional legacy. If your case was dismissed or you successfully completed the terms of a diversion program, we can petition the court for an expungement. Our goal is to decouple your future from the arrest record, ensuring that a single moment of crisis does not permanently define your reputation.
Domestic battery laws in California (PC 243(e)(1)) cover any willful and unlawful touching, even if no injury occurs. However, a more serious charge — PC 273.5 — involves a “corporal injury” and can lead to felony domestic violence if a physical wound or trauma is present. Our firm exerts immediate command over the evidence to ensure the prosecution does not overcharge a situation that should be resolved with a dismissal or a significantly lesser offense.
A domestic incident often triggers a parallel investigation by Child Protective Services. If you are being investigated, you may need a CPS lawyer for domestic violence cases to ensure your family remains intact. We provide a dual-track defense strategy, managing both the domestic violence charges in Orange County and the CPS inquiry to stabilize your household and shield your children from legal chaos.
