Orange County Aggravated Assault Defense Lawyer
If you have been arrested for domestic violence, do not take your charges lightly. What may have started out as nothing more than a minor dispute could end up as something that significantly impairs your record, rights and freedom.
People who are arrested for domestic violence often have misconceptions about their charges. If you have been arrested for domestic violence:
- Do not assume that your charges will be dropped because your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend wants the charges to be dropped.
- Do not assume that you will not be prosecuted because your dispute only involved verbal threats or a minor physical skirmish that did not result in severe physical injuries to the alleged victim.
- Understand that the prosecution may use a subpoena to compel the testimony of the alleged victim at your trial, should your case go to trial.
- Understand that you could face serious criminal penalties, including possible jail time, court-ordered anger management counseling and community service.
