What Does It Mean To Be Arrested For Domestic Violence In California?

In California, domestic violence laws are strict, and charges can arise from any alleged harm or threat of harm against a spouse, partner, family member, or roommate. The term covers a wide range of actions, from physical assault to verbal threats. Even a minor altercation can lead to serious consequences, including jail time, fines, restraining orders, and long-term damage to your reputation and career.

The penalties for domestic violence depend on factors such as the severity of the incident, any prior criminal history, and whether children were present – and charges can range from misdemeanors to felonies.

How Will A Criminal Defense Attorney Work To Help You?
