San Diego Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
Criminal Defense for San Diego County Domestic Violence Charges
Being accused of domestic violence is an extremely serious situation to be in. Not only are you at risk of facing criminal charges, you may also lose custody of your children or be served a
restraining order that will prohibit any contact with the alleged victim and possibly your children as well. If you are convicted, you may face imprisonment, heavy fines, and the burden of dealing with a criminal record for the rest of your life. You may face limited employment and financial opportunities and your reputation may never recover.
Although you may be facing the most important and potentially the gravest situation in your entire life, there is hope. An experienced criminal defense lawyer can protect your constitutional rights in the face of your domestic violence charges, giving you the opportunity to avoid formal charges, a conviction and serious criminal penalties.
Superior Law Center is here to offer you the skilled and dedicated legal representation you need in the face of any domestic violence-related charges you may face. We represent clients throughout the entire San Diego County area in Southern California and are standing by to see how we can best assist you.
False Accusations
A primary issue to consider in the realm of domestic violence charges is whether the allegations are true in the first place. Unfortunately, this is an area where false accusations run rampant. Jealousy, anger, revenge and other dangerous emotions may cause a spouse, family member, ex-spouse or even a child to claim that abuse or mistreatment has occurred. At times, law enforcement may arrive to the scene of a dispute and may make an arrest when domestic violence had actually not occurred. False allegations can too easily lead to formal criminal charges and a conviction. This is one of many reasons it is so important to involve an attorney if you or a loved one is facing domestic violence charges in the San Diego area. You need to move quickly to retain the services of a criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with handling these cases. If you've been falsely accused, you need a professional fighting on your side to protect your rights. Click here to learn more about false accusations.
At our firm, we defend criminal charges of stalking,
criminal threats,
child endangerment or
corporal injury on a child (child abuse),
probation violations and warrants,
spousal abuse with injury and
without injury, and
assault and battery. We can also help you if you have been accused of
damaging a phone line, making
threatening phone calls or
violating a restraining order that you were unaware existed. In many cases with these types of protective orders, an individual is unaware that the restraining order has been put in their name, and so they unknowingly break the order, or a false accusation has led the police to believe that a person has broken the order. If you have been convicted of a minor domestic violence offense in the past, our firm may be able to help you with
expungements and getting your record cleared. We understand that having to drag around the baggage of a criminal conviction is difficult, especially when all you want is to close this chapter in your life and begin anew. Through expungement, we can help you achieve this. Call our firm today to get the experienced and dedicated legal counsel that you deserve.
