Los Angeles Domestic Violence Lawyer

Do I Need a Lawyer?

Once the police become involved in a domestic dispute, an individual accused of this offense will need a defense lawyer. When law enforcement responds to a domestic violence call, they will most likely make an arrest. At this point, it is no longer up to the alleged victim to decide whether to press charges. Instead, the prosecutor will have sole discretion in deciding to continue with a criminal case.

You will need a Los Angeles defense lawyer on your side to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney, uncover evidence or witness testimony in your favor and take action to have your charges dropped or lessened. A lawyer can also defend you against a restraining order or an order of protection, if the alleged victim files one against you.

Your future and your rights are on the line, and your choice of defense attorney will make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
