Spousal Abuse

Ever since the infamous O. J. Simpson case, domestic battery has become one of our society's hot buttons. The days of police coming to your home to calm everyone down and then leave, are long gone.

Today, if someone calls 911, someone is going to jail. And, making things even more difficult is that bail is set at $50,000.00 for a violation of this penal code section (273.5 P.C.).

If there is any good news in this it's that these cases that so often start out as felony arrests can usually be reduced by a good attorney.

This is another instance where getting an experienced lawyer on the case early can make a big difference in the outcome, often leading to complete dismissals.
