Orange County Domestic Violence Attorneys
Spousal Abuse
A "domestic dispute" may sound minor, but California law enforcement takes domestic and spousal abuse charges very seriously. People accused of physical violence against a spouse, child, girlfriend or boyfriend, family member or anyone else they live with face serious consequences. These include time in jail or prison, steep fines, anger management classes, restraining orders and severe restrictions on their ability to own and use firearms. A domestic violence arrest can also cause trouble at work; a felony conviction can make it nearly impossible to find a new job. And if you're facing divorce or other family court proceedings, a conviction for domestic or spousal abuse can hurt your case significantly.
If you're facing a domestic abuse charge in Orange County, call the criminal law experts at Takakjian & Sitkoff as soon as you can. As former district attorneys, we know from experience that law enforcement is not sympathetic to those accused of domestic violence. Domestic violence is frequently a "he-said, she-said" situation; too often, officers believe the alleged victims without verifying their story. Even if it was a misunderstanding or everyone has calmed down, they may not want to hear your side. And prosecutors, believing they're protecting the weak, may press charges even when the alleged victim wants to drop the case. An experienced criminal attorney from Takakjian & Sitkoff can help straighten out the situation, negotiate for dropped or reduced charges or significantly reduce your penalties.
