Orange County Child Abuse Defense Lawyer
Defending False Allegations of Abuse in Santa Ana and Beyond
Child abuse is a terrible act that can have lasting repercussions in a child's life. Because child abuse is such a heinous crime, the government works hard to punish those accused of abuse. Unfortunately, sometimes the government will believe that a child's injuries are the result of abuse when in fact the injuries are the result of an accident or some other circumstance.
If you have been accused of child abuse, you need a strong lawyer on your side. The Law Offices of David P. Schwarz provides aggressive representation to people across Southern California accused of child abuse. With everything that is at stake, you need a lawyer who will fight to limit the damage stemming from these allegations. We will look closely at all the evidence to see what defenses are available. Once we understand the facts, we will take the best action for your situation, whether that is fighting for an acquittal or dismissal of the charges, or negotiating an appropriate plea agreement. The earlier we get involved, the more we can do in your defense.
The Consequences of a Child Abuse Conviction
Any child abuse or child endangerment conviction will present major problems in your life. You will obviously face fines and probation. If you are convicted of a felony, you face the possibility of years in state prison. Perhaps the worst penalty associated with a child abuse conviction is losing contact with your children. In a child abuse conviction, the judge can order you to stay away from your children. If you are divorced or not married to the other parent of your child, you may have very limited custody of your children. You may lose your children altogether.
Do not let this happen. We know that many allegations of child abuse are the result of an accident, parental discipline or outright falsehoods. We will take every step within the law to protect your rights.
