Same Sex Domestic Violence Cases Have Their Own Complications

We Help Aggressively Fight Your Case

California law is quite strict on domestic violence crimes. In fact, most District Attorney’s offices actually have special units dedicated to prosecuting domestic violence offenses. Prosecutors in these units sometimes continue to move cases forward even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges, or if the victim recants their allegations. Unfortunately, this can result in innocent individuals facing charges for actions they did not take at all or undertook in self-defense.
