Domestic Violence Attorney Serving the San Fernando Valley
Have you been falsely accused of domestic violence?
Domestic violence is a criminal charge that can ruin someone's reputation and life, as well as strain their relationship with their family, children, and community. Being labeled as an abusive spouse can cause you to lose your job, and have difficulty in obtaining a new one. Unfortunately, when domestic disputes get heated, domestic abuse claims can arise that are not true, and are said in an effort to hurt or embarrass the person they are made against.
Domestic violence is a violent crime, which means that it can carry severe penalties and punishments if the accused is convicted. Being convicted of domestic violence can result in probation, jail time, community service, anger management and monetary fines, as well as a court-ordered restitution payment to the victim. Because domestic violence can be tried as either a
felony or a misdemeanor, the punishments that go along with a conviction can vary, but all of them are severe and unpleasant If you have been charged with a criminal charge including domestic violence, contact a
Van Nuys criminal defense attorney from our firm as soon as possible to get started on your defense.
