Orange County Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
Costa Mesa Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers
If you have been accused of domestic violence, it is not an understatement to say that your life as you know it could be on the line. You could face fines, probation, incarceration, the loss of your right to bear arms, and other assorted penalties. It is a mistake to face this difficult situation alone. You need an attorney who will use every tool at his or her disposal to help you achieve a favorable outcome. The Law Offices of David P. Schwarz, with offices in Santa Ana and Costa Mesa, has defended hundreds of people against serious criminal allegations, including allegations of domestic violence. Attorneys David P. Schwarz and Winiviere G. Sy know how to defend against these damaging charges.
In every case, our only goal will be to achieve a favorable result, whether it is a dismissal of the charges, an acquittal or a reduction of the charge to a lesser charge. In many cases, it may be possible to reduce a domestic violence charge to disturbing the peace. Disturbing the peace charges can be brought under a number of circumstances. These circumstances include fighting, maliciously making unreasonable noises, or using offensive words in public likely to provoke an immediate reaction.
Under California law, disturbing the peace can be charged as a misdemeanor or an infraction. Most importantly, disturbing the peace charges do not bring the number of penalties and social stigma associated with a domestic violence conviction. If a dismissal of your charges is not likely, we will work to achieve the best possible alternative. In many cases, a viable sentence involves pleading guilty to disturbing the peace.
