Alameda & Contra Costa County Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
Domestic Violence Defense in Alameda County and Contra Costa County
Domestic violence refers to threats or acts of violence between members of the same household, including spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, children, siblings, relatives, and roommates. In most cases, once the police arrive to investigate a domestic violence accusation, someone is going to be arrested. Unfortunately, a lot of domestic violence complaints are filed because tempers flare higher than they should have in the heat of the moment, or because someone wants to seek revenge on another out of spite or anger. However, in California there is no opportunity to drop domestic violence charges once a complaint has been filed. That is an option left to the discretion of the district attorney alone. This means that someone can be arrested and prosecuted for domestic violence, even if they never committed such a crime or were acting out in self defense.
