San Bernardino Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

Have you been accused of physically, mentally or sexually abusing a family member, spouse or ex-spouse? If so, you will most likely face domestic violence charges. In California, domestic violence is classified as a violent crime and depending upon the severity may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony offense.  Penalties for domestic violence have increased ever since the early nineties and the widely scrutinized O.J. Simpson case.  Due to the nature and circumstances of a domestic violence crime a person may be sentenced to many years behind bars, fines, victim restitution, counseling, probation and parole. In addition, a restraining order or order of protection will most likely also be enforced that specifies many different rules that must be followed in order to avoid any further penalties. These types of orders can last for as long as three years, and possibly longer.

Domestic violence may involve three types of abuse. The first type of abuse is physical abuse and it may include hitting, slapping, spanking, punching, kicking, pushing, shoving or spitting. The second type of abuse is mental abuse and it may include name calling, belittling and many other emotionally traumatizing words or actions. The third and final type of abuse is sexual abuse. It may involve any type of sex crime including: rape, marital rape, molestation, sexual battery, sexual assault and incest.
