Conviction on a domestic violence charge — even a first offense — carries heavy penalties. You may be required to pay for and attend a yearlong series of domestic violence counseling sessions, or you may be sentenced to time in jail.
In my decades of experience as a San Diego criminal defense lawyer, I have seen that many domestic violence cases started with arguments that got out of hand. Sometimes, one spouse will use a criminal charge of domestic violence to try to get the upper hand in a divorce proceeding.
No matter what circumstances led to an arrest for domestic violence, it is critically important to get an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side as soon as possible. Domestic assault and restraining order cases can get complicated very quickly. Early intervention by an advocate who is on your side can make a major difference in the outcome of the criminal domestic assault case and the civil restraining order case.
Two Decades of Experience as a San Diego Criminal Defense Lawyer
I have practiced criminal law in San Diego County since 1989. In the course of almost 20 years working as a criminal defense attorney, I have developed a reputation as an honest, hard-working criminal defense advocate who gives practical and realistic advice to my clients.
Once I know all the facts — by interviewing my client, reviewing any available police reports and talking to available witnesses — I am able to give my client a frank assessment of the most likely outcome of the case. I am not a lawyer who sugarcoats the facts. As I often say to my clients, "My job is to tell you what you need to know, not what you want to hear."
