Inland Empire Domestic Violence Attorney
Defense Lawyer in San Bernardino & Riverside County, California
A domestic violence accusation and criminal charge can immediately have negative effects on your life. Most likely, the alleged victim will file a restraining order or order of protection, and you may be required to move out of your own house, if you share it with the victim. You will also be prohibited from coming into contact with the alleged victim and possibly your children as well.
Don't waste a second in consulting an Inland Empire domestic violence defense lawyer if you have been accused of domestic violence. Once the police become involved, the case is now in the hands of a prosecutor who will determine whether to press charges – even if the alleged victim does not want to. In California, a domestic violence conviction can result in a lengthy state prison sentence along with other serious criminal penalties. Only a skilled defense attorney who is fully committed to defending your liberty and rights will be able to stand even a small chance of securing a positive outcome.
