Hermosa Beach Domestic Violence Lawyer

Domestic Violence Cases

When law enforcement receives a call regarding a domestic disturbance, they will send police officers to the home to investigate the matter. The investigation of the situation will be minimal. If there is evidence of a fight, such as physical injuries or broken furniture, an arrest will be made. A warrant is not needed to search a home in domestic violence cases, and the prosecution can try the case even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. If you have been arrested for committing a domestic violence offense, speak with a Hermosa Beach domestic violence attorney at once. A lawyer will protect your rights and immediately start negotiating for a reduction in charges or case dismissal.

Have you been arrested for domestic violence?

If you have been charged with domestic violence, you are facing potentially serious consequences that can affect the rest of your life. In addition to jail time, you may be prevented from having any contact with the alleged victim, forced to move out of your house, and prohibited from visiting your children unless supervised. If you are charged with any type of sexual misconduct involving a child, not only will you be incarcerated if you are found guilty of the accusations, you may also be required to register as a sex offender.
