Los Angeles Domestic Violence Defense
Thanks to funding by special interest groups, Los Angeles domestic violence (DV) cases are prosecuted more aggressively today. Whereas before authorities would need specific evidence before arresting a man or a woman in a domestic violence case, now police are required to make an arrest if either party in a domestic violence call has any visible injury.
Unfortunately, this can easily lead to misunderstanding. Police only take short statements and usually determine that the non-injured party is the aggressor while the injured party is the victim. There is often little deliberation.
If you have been arrested in Los Angeles on domestic violence charges, it is important to hire a qualified Los Angeles defense attorney immediately. Your attorney can hire a private investigator to interview witnesses, your partner, and yourself. However, it is advisable that these interviews take place as soon as possible after a dispute, while details are still fresh in everyone's minds.
In many instances, an astute investigator will find that a partner has exaggerated claims made to police because of anger. In many cases, partners will readily admit this fact in a sworn statement. It is important for your Los Angeles domestic abuse defense attorney to get these statements to prosecutors before criminal charges are filed. This can allow you to have more time for a thorough investigation or it can result in unfounded charges being dropped. This is very important in keeping your criminal record clear. Even if charges are filed, sworn statements can help your Los Angeles attorney defend you from a position of strength.
Domestic violence charges and convictions can tarnish your name, affect your ability to apply for custody, and can leave you with a record that can affect your employment and every aspect of your life. Your future and freedom are at stake, which is why you need an experienced, qualified attorney who can help you develop a strong defense strategy.
