Domestic Violence Allegations in California
If law enforcement officials respond to a domestic dispute and determine that one party has possibly assaulted the other party, the threatening party will likely be arrested. However, frequently it is both parties who have been abusive or violent and only one person is arrested. This is usually the man unless the woman brandishes a weapon.
Typically, both parties in domestic violence situations lose control and become violent. In some situations, we are able to obtain a dismissal. The police officers may have just made an assumption. In reality, the person not prosecuted might actually be the perpetrator.
Our Goals and Your Needs
When handling a domestic violence case, our goal is to see that your needs are met. We strive to help get you out from under the criminal allegation and restraining order issues. Attorney Paul Antrill will devote substantial time to help preserve your rights and get you back home. We also attempt to have minimal restraints set in place if the relationship is reparable.
Criminal Defense and Family Law Implications
Though domestic violence and restraining order issues are matters of criminal law, they have family law implications. It is beneficial to have an attorney on your side who can handle both the family law and the criminal law matters.
If there are grounds for the charge, we will act quickly to minimize the negative impact on your life. This can mean seeking an alternative sentence, including counseling, community service, or work release programs (CAL TRAN).
