A call to the police involving a report of domestic violence, or abuse, will always end up in an arrest. The police will tell you that if they are called out they are required to arrest somebody. All it takes is the word of one person to get a report made and charges filed. Even if an accuser tells the police he or she does want to press charges, the charges will be filed anyway. If there is a police report that says domestic abuse happened, the District Attorney will seek prosecution, and a criminal conviction. In this situation, you need an attorney who has experience and knowledge in these cases, and who has achieved great results for those charged with this ugly and demonized offense. Make no mistake – the prosecution is not going to simply dismiss the case because you and your significant other tell them you want it dropped. California prosecutor offices receive special grant money from the government specifically to prosecute domestic violence cases. They will spend the resources to try and convict you. You need a resource that will protect your best interests and preserve your rights. That resource is the Law Office of Kyle J. Humphrey. A conviction of a charge of domestic violence will carry with it jail time, whether the case is filed as a misdemeanor, or a felony. A felony conviction of domestic violence carries a punishment of up to several years in state prison. You will be required to undergo one year of counseling for domestic violence and anger management. You will be prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm for ten years. You will be labeled a wife beater, or worse, and placed on probation or parole. This type of conviction brings serious and lasting consequences. Your best chance of avoiding these consequences is to hire a lawyer who can navigate you through the pitfalls and provide the best possible results in your case. |
