About Domestic Violence Defense

Los Angeles Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

Domestic Violence is one of the most common charges in Los Angeles.  Domestic violence cases take place in every socio-economic level in the area and any person could be charged with this very serious offense after law enforcement is called when a domestic dispute is taking place.  When law enforcement arrives on the scene after being called by a neighbor, other family member or one of the individuals involved in the dispute, it is likely that one of the parties will be charged with domestic violence.  These charges cannot be dismissed if the accuser changes their minds and recants their testimony; this decision is made by the prosecutor.  This creates a serious problem for those who have been accused of domestic violence and later the individual making the accusation wants to withdraw it.  In any incident in which an accusation of domestic violence results in being charged, it is crucial that you contact a Los Angeles domestic violence defense attorney.
