Pasadena Domestic Violence Attorney
Defense for Domestic Violence Charges
Have you been accused of domestic violence? This serious criminal offense
may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances
of the case. It is a particularly grave matter due to the fact that it
may affect the accused in ways other than incarceration or other criminal
penalties. A person accused or convicted of domestic violence may lose
child custody or visitation rights and may also face the harsh limitations
of a restraining order, preventing him or her from coming into contact
or even within a certain distance of the alleged victim.
As a skilled Pasadena criminal defense lawyer, David D. Diamond understands
how to approach a case involving domestic violence charges in order to
protect his client's rights from the onset. In addition to protecting
your rights in regard to your criminal charges, Mr. Diamond and his staff
can work to help you in the face of any custody matter or restraining
order. By aggressively defending your rights to the fullest extent of
the law, our firm will fight to help you avoid the many negative consequences
of a domestic violence conviction in Pasadena, California.
Domestic Violence Cases in Pasadena
Domestic violence cases are particularly tricky. The sensitive and often
public nature of these cases has made law enforcement and prosecutors
harsh on alleged domestic violence offenders. When called to the scene
of a domestic dispute, Pasadena law enforcement officers are very likely
to make an arrest - even if there is not significant evidence that abuse
or violence has occurred. Once you are arrested, it will not be in the
hands of the alleged victim to decide whether to press charges. The District
Attorney (prosecutor) will have the sole discretion of whether to move
forward with a case. These factors combined mean that it is too easy for
an argument or misunderstanding to escalate into criminal charges.
Our top priority is to devise customized legal strategies that are tailored to the unique legal needs of our clients, no matter how simple or complicated their situations, might be.
