If You Have Been Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence …
More and more frequently, police called to the scene of a domestic dispute are forced to file domestic assault charges against one or both parties. The charges often stem from a misunderstanding but they can still have a very negative impact on the future of the person charged.
In cases where a divorce is pending, it is also a frequent ploy to charge a spouse with domestic abuse in an effort to gain an upper hand in a pending property or custody battle. Under California law (Family Code Section 3044), if the court finds that one parent has committed abuse against the other, then it is presumed that the perpetrator should not have any form of child custody and is often removed the home and placed on supervised visitation.
At Holstrom, Sissung, Marks & Anderson, we provide aggressive legal representation that helps innocent people avoid the penalties that can come with being falsely accused of domestic violence. However, any false accusation of domestic violence demands immediate action on your part. To talk to an attorney and to put our firm’s experience with these situations to work for you — call any of our three Southern California offices or contact us online.
If You Think You Are
Guilty of Domestic Violence …
If you have been accused of domestic violence and think that the charges are legitimate, we can help you fight for a positive outcome for your case. Domestic violence charges are almost always filed as a felony, and the penalties can be severe. Depending upon the severity and type of domestic assault you are guilty of, however, there may be an alternative to jail time.
We work aggressively to find remedies such as Batterer Intervention Programs and anger management programs. Successful completion of these alternative programs sometimes means that a conviction may be set aside. Often the path of getting help will garner better results than continuing to fight. Our experienced attorneys can advise you which course is best.
