Santa Ana Domestic Violence Lawyer

Accusations of Domestic Violence

Have you been charged with domestic violence? While we understand that laws and punishments are in place to eradicate this type of crime, in our 18 years of dealing with criminal justice matters we have found that many people are falsely accused of domestic violence out of revenge, jealousy or in the heated moments of a relationship. The consequences of such an action can adversely affect the accused to a very marked degree. Even if the accuser recants, the state may choose to continue to prosecute the individual.

Our state's domestic violence laws make it illegal to commit acts of force or violence against those you are currently or formerly in a relationship with, are married to, a former spouse, or the parent of your child. These laws also include those you are cohabiting with. Child abuse laws are also in place to prevent domestic violence. An aggressive Santa Ana criminal defense attorney, who has the knowledge and experience to successfully combat domestic violence charges, should be retained with haste in the event you have been charged with this crime. Mr. Schaffer is such an attorney.
