Domestic Violence Defense for Riverside County

Domestic violence is defined as abuse that takes place within a family setting.  This abuse may be physical, sexual, and/or psychological in nature.  Once a person reports an incident of domestic abuse, the person he/she accuses may be charged with domestic violence by law enforcement.  In the state of California, a person can be charged with domestic violence even if the alleged victim does not wish to press charges.  Domestic violence is a serious crime that is never overlooked by law enforcement.    
 
The consequences for domestic violence are life-changing.  People who are convicted of domestic violence face harsh legal ramifications like imprisonment, heavy fines, probation, rehabilitation, counseling, and community service.  Furthermore, if you are convicted of a domestic violence offense, you may be prohibited from making contact with the victim, or entering your own home.  For these reasons, it is always to your advantage to retain the services of a qualified, reputable criminal defense attorney after you have been charged with domestic violence.
