A domestic violence accusation can upend your life overnight—home, custody, career, immigration status, and your record are all at risk. In LA County, prosecutors file quickly and judges often issue no-contact orders at the first appearance.

If you’re being accused of domestic violence in Los Angeles County, you could face:

• Jail or prison
• Probation, mandatory classes, and fines
• Criminal protective orders (no contact with partner/family)
• Loss of child custody/visitation leverage
• Loss of firearm rights and prohibition
• Immigration and professional license fallout
• A permanent criminal record that follows you for years

Act now. Early intervention lets us shape conditions of release, protect contact with family, and start building your defense before evidence goes stale.

We handle the full spectrum of DV-related allegations in Los Angeles criminal courts, including:

• Domestic Battery — Penal Code §243(e)(1) (No visible injury required; commonly charged after an argument or 911 call.)
• Corporal Injury to Spouse/Cohabitant — Penal Code §273.5 (Requires “traumatic condition”; felony-wobbler exposure.)
• Criminal Threats — Penal Code §422 (Alleged threats causing sustained fear; often filed with DV counts.)
• Stalking / Harassment — Penal Code §646.9
• False Imprisonment — Penal Code §236
• Vandalism in a DV context — Penal Code §594
• Interference with Communications — Penal Code §591 / §591.5 (Allegations of breaking a phone or preventing a 911 call.)
• Violation of Protective Order — Penal Code §273.6
• Child Endangerment / Abuse — Penal Code §273a (when charged alongside DV)

Protective Orders & Firearms: DV cases often trigger criminal protective orders and mandatory firearm restrictions. Violations carry separate charges and can jeopardize your case.

Every DV case turns on proof, credibility, and context. We tailor your defense to the facts, common themes include:

• Challenging the narrative (mutual combat, self-defense, accident, lack of willful intent)
• Exposing credibility issues (motive to fabricate, inconsistencies, text records, prior statements)
• Digital evidence that contradicts the accusation (messages, call logs, location data, video)
• Medical & forensic review (injury timing/inconsistency; 911 and body-cam analysis)
• Evidentiary motions to exclude prejudicial or unlawfully obtained statements
• Negotiation pathways (reductions, counseling-based resolutions, dismissals when evidence collapses)
