Pasadena and Alhambra Domestic Violence Lawyer

Have you been accused of domestic violence, domestic abuse, spousal abuse or child abuse? You may face a restraining order or order of protection and may even be required to move out of the home that you share with the alleged victim – even if you own the property or pay the rent.

Domestic violence charges are extremely serious, and a felony domestic violence conviction can result in a state prison sentence of up to 4 years, along with fines of up to $6,000. If you are convicted of domestic violence against a child, you may face a prison sentence of up to 6 years and/or fines totaling $6,000. Additionally, felony domestic violence counts as a “strike” on your criminal record, you will not be able to own or purchase a firearm and you may face a damaged reputation and trouble obtaining employment.
