If you have been charged with any crime that involves your spouse or someone with whom you have a dating relationship, it will most likely trigger a very serious response from both law enforcement and the district attorney. The police routinely arrest someone and immediately slap a $50,000 bail whether the circumstances warrant it or not. A protective order will automatically be issued thus preventing you from returning home or even contacting the other party. Any court disposition short of a complete dismissal will almost assuredly result in you being required to complete a 52-week Batterer’s Treatment Program. Some courts even have established a “Domestic Violence” court which you will be required to attend every few weeks to show that you are in compliance with all of the terms of your probation.
If you have been charged or have been contacted by the police about any of the following charges, you must contact our office immediately. If you have not been charged with a crime we can work to make sure that it doesn’t happen in the future. If you have already been arrested, we can help reduce your bail and work to bring the case to a close with minimal heartache.
