Los Angeles Spousal Abuse Attorney

Los Angeles Spousal Abuse Lawyer

Spousal Abuse Attorney In Los Angeles

Spousal abuse is a form of domestic violence that occurs when a person abuses his/her spouse or ex-spouse. In Los Angeles, an individual will most likely be charged with spousal abuse even if the alleged victim does not want to press charges. Once the police become involved, it is usually a matter of time before the prosecuting attorney will press charges.

However, you can work to stop this vicious cycle with the help of a Los Angeles spousal abuse defense lawyer. A skilled lawyer may be able to negotiate with the prosecution in order to avoid having charges filed. If it is too late for that, your lawyer can begin preparing your case and can work to defend your rights in the case of a criminal trial. This includes a thorough investigation using our understanding of California domestic violence laws, in order to find how we can weaken the prosecution’s case, prove factual innocence or prove that your rights were violated during the arrest or investigation.
