Manhattan Beach Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic Violence Cases

Domestic violence charges can arise as a result of any of a number of act including stalking, harassing behavior, or even assault & battery. The penalties can range from a misdemeanor act with fines and potential jail time up to a more serious felony which can carry a prison sentence. These cases can be complex as even if the accuser wishes to withdraw charges, the prosecution can proceed if they choose to do so. In many cases, domestic violence charges come about after a domestic disturbance call to law enforcement.

When the police arrive they evaluate the situation and if there is evidence of harm being inflicted and one individual claims to be a victim of domestic violence, then the police have no choice but to make an arrest. In many cases it is the word of one person versus that of another.
