Domestic Violence - Spousal Abuse

In California, once the police arrive, there is generally an arrest of one party or the other. Charges related to domestic violence can be and are often filed against an individual who has been accused of acted in a threatening or violent manner even though no harm was intended and no infringement upon another’s safety was foreseen. Often, those who are defending themselves can be charged as well. This means that those who find themselves in the position of needing to fight such charges will need the help of an experienced attorney. Gorelick & Gorelick knows the best ways to deal within the framework of the legal system and provide the best outcome so that the weight of these charges is lifted.

Gorelick & Gorelick is a firm with over three decades of experience in helping people get past the otherwise smothering feeling that is experienced by people who find themselves facing criminal charges.

Domestic violence is a broad term that encompasses a wide array of possible criminal charges and related circumstances, including:

• Spousal abuse (including physical, verbal, threats, etc.)
  
  
• Child abuse (also physical or verbal)
  
  
• Battery
  
  
• False imprisonment by violence and threat of violence
  
  
• Financial abuse
  
  
• Social abuse (physically or emotionally isolating a victim from others)
  
  
• Other issues related to the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of perceived victims

When you are faced with criminal charges that have the potential to devastate you both socially and professionally, it is important that you hire someone with the kind of experience and track record of success that will allow you to keep your life in tact. Gorelick & Gorelick is a team that is able to explain to you all of your legal options based on over thirty years of successful client representation.

Gorelick & Gorelick has defended those accused of spousal abuse with an excellent record of success. California law takes a very serious stand against those who’ve been accused of spousal abuse and it is in the best interest of anyone accused of this crime to acquire the kind of experienced and superior legal help provided by Gorelick & Gorelick.

In California, there is no opportunity for a spouse to drop charges of someone who has been charged with spousal abuse. That is an option left to the discretion of the district attorney alone. This means that once the police have arrived onto a tense domestic scene and any kind of accusation of abuse has been made, one of the parties involved will be arrested and charged with spousal abuse. This could be the case simply because tempers flared higher than they should have in the heat of the moment, but now the results will require trained and experienced legal help to overcome.

The law office of Gorelick & Gorelick has over 30 years of experience helping clients move past the potentially crippling effects of spousal abuse charges to regain freedom and hope for the future.
