Criminal Law - Domestic Violence
Sacramento Domestic Violence Defense Attorney, Sacramento Domestic Violence Lawyer
Domestic violence crimes usually involve an altercation between spouses, partners, people who are dating, and the elderly. Many people consider domestic violence to be a private issue. Many also believe that if an alleged victim and family member attempts to "drop" charges, for example in a case of alleged spousal abuse, nothing more will happen in a case. Realistically, once a matter is introduced into the criminal justice system an alleged victim and family member has absolutely no say as to whether or not the prosecution pursues the matter. You can be arrested, charged and convicted even if the alleged victim does not want it and objects.
A domestic abuse charge is a serious matter, and can lead to a prison term in certain situations. It can also lead to severe terms of release and probation. If you are convicted, you could be placed under a restraining order and prohibited from drinking alcohol and other social activities. It is vital you understand these possible effects of a charge and a conviction. If you are placed under a restraining order a violation can send you to jail and lead to more restrictions. This is true even if the person you are to stay away from invites you into their home. The time to deal with these issues is before you bail or bond out of jail, and inadvertently violate your release conditions. You need representation at the first possible moment to assist you with your release and your ongoing domestic violence defense.
