Ventura Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

Spousal Abuse & Child Abuse Lawyer in Ventura County, California

Domestic violence is a problem receiving increased political and media attention as well as increased resources allocated by law enforcement agencies throughout California and the rest of the U.S. If the police respond to a 911 call or tip regarding a domestic dispute, they will more make an arrest more often than not. Once law enforcement is involved, the accused abuser may face criminal charges regardless of whether the alleged victim wants to follow through with formal charges. The prosecutor will have sole discretion in deciding whether enough evidence of abuse exists to follow through with a lawsuit in criminal court.

An individual accused of domestic violence faces not only criminal proceedings and penalties but also may face a restraining order, temporary restraining order or an order of protection. Once properly served a restraining order, the person named in the order will have no choice but to abide by its terms, which may include refraining from contacting the alleged victim in any way, moving out of a shared residence with the victim, staying a certain distance from the victim and staying away from the victim's place of employment or school.
