Providing Skilled and Experienced Domestic Violence Representation

If you are facing a domestic violence charge, don’t take the situation lightly. When the police respond to a spousal abuse call, most people don’t plan on the unintended consequences. If convicted of a domestic violence related offense, such as battery on a co-habitant (Pen. Code §273.5), you can plan on participating in a 52 week anger management course required by the court. In addition, the court will impose a restraining order against the convicted party that provides that they are to have no contact with the “victim.” This makes visitation with your children extremely difficult.

To add on to the pile, if you are convicted of a domestic violence related battery or crime, you will be forbidden from owning firearms for the remainder of your life under Federal Law. If your occupation or prospective career depends on the ability to possess a firearm, this restriction can really be a career-ender. If you plan on being around firearms in the future, this restriction will mean that you risk possible felony state charges and federal charges. These restrictions and consequences are unforeseen by the vast majority of people accused of domestic violence. Michael E. Mitchell is experienced in representing people accused of spousal abuse. Domestic violence related offenses may include crimes such as battery on a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, criminal threats, false-imprisonment, dissuading a witness from testifying, etc.
