Santa Ana Criminal Defense Attorney
Offering a Strong Defense Against Domestic Violence Charges
The Law Offices of David P. Schwarz defends people across Orange County and Southern California against serious criminal allegations. Much of our law firm's work involves defending individuals against domestic violence charges. A domestic violence conviction will impact many different areas of your life. You need an experienced defense lawyer at your side to help minimize the impact of these charges.
- Harassment and stalking: If you have been accused of violating a restraining order, you can face charges of harassment or stalking.
- Spousal battery defense: In the worst cases, a spousal battery conviction will be a strike under California's three-strikes law. Our law firm will present a powerful defense against these serious allegations.
- Child abuse defense/impact on child custody: Child abuse allegations are among the most serious allegations a parent can face. If you are convicted of these charges, you may lose contact with your children.
- Domestic violence charges reduced to disturbing the peace: Our law firm will explore every option to have your charge dismissed or reduced. In many cases we can have domestic violence allegations reduced to a disturbing the peace charge.
- Modifications to restraining orders: If there is a restraining order against you and you want to return home, our law firm can work with the court to modify the order.
- Simple assault and battery defense: We have a complete understanding of California criminal law, and can advise you if pleading guilty to a simple assault or battery charge is in your best interests.
- Probation violations: Probation violations are very serious problems that can lead to serious penalties. We can work with the court and probation officer to develop a reasonable alternative.
- Police officers and firearms: If you are a law enforcement agent, a domestic violence conviction will require you to give up your firearms. Our law firm can help you get back your right to bear arms.
- Anger management classes: In many cases, these classes must be completed as part of a reduced sentence.
