Domestic violence is a very serious matter and occurs all too frequently in California families. If you are charged with or have been the victim of domestic violence, you need a good lawyer. A conviction of domestic violence has severe consequences on your rights regarding custody, visitation and support.

California law defines domestic violence as: "Abuse perpetrated against a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, former cohabitant, a person with whom he/she had had a dating relationship, a person with whom he/she has had a child, a child of a party, or any other person related by consanguinity or affinity within two degrees."

If you are the victim of domestic violence, our lawyers will petition the court to obtain a restraining order. These orders will help protect you and your family from continuing abuse and harm. These orders can be extended up to three years or more depending on the severity of your case.

If you are wrongly accused of domestic violence, you need someone to stand up for your rights. We will defend you against inappropriate restraining orders, protective orders, and unsubstantiated charges of domestic violence.

A restraining order or criminal conviction of domestic violence will seriously affect your rights in any custody, visitation and support proceedings. In the alternative, if you are the victim of domestic violence we can petition the court to obtain a restraining order.
