Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic violence is a very serious issue in today’s society. Despite stereotypes that are largely based around low-income families, domestic violence can affect anyone of any income level, race, religion and ethnicity. Unfortunately, because the issue is so highly publicized, investigators and juries can often be very biased when it comes to the person accused. Despite all the support for domestic violence victims though, the reality is that many people do falsify charges in order to gain leverage in divorce proceedings or simply to punish a family member they are angry with. That is why it is so important that anyone who has been accused of domestic violence contact a skilled Sacramento criminal attorney as soon as possible.

In many cases, a person may call the police and claim they were domestically assaulted and then later recant, only to have the investigators refuse to drop the charges. While the intent behind this policy is based on protecting victims, it also prevents people who wrongly accuse innocent persons of domestic assault from being able to drop the charges. Fortunately, an experienced Sacramento criminal lawyer use this in your favor to show that even the alleged victim does not want to see you punished.

If you believe you were falsely accused, but the person refuses to take back their accusations, your Sacramento criminal attorney can help you prove he or she has political or financial motivations behind the accusations. Even if the so-called victim, we can prove that some children have been known to come forward with false allegations for a variety of reasons.

If you actually did abuse your family member though, your Sacramento criminal lawyer can still help you fight for minimal sentencing. We can help show that you have admitted your anger problems and began therapy in anger management. We will work to prove that you merely made a mistake and that your otherwise loving family will be harmed more than helped if you are convicted and incarcerated for the act.
