San Jose Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers
California Restraining Order Violation Attorneys
The San Jose criminal defense lawyers at the Moore Law Firm represent persons charged with domestic violence or violating a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO). If you need advice about the potential consequences of these serious charges, or representation in court to defend against an alleged violation of an order for protection, contact one of our Domestic Violence Defense attorneys, in San Jose or Fresno, for a free consultation.
Our knowledge of the law and our experience with the local charging and sentencing practices in the Bay Area counties can give you a distinct advantage as we work to reduce your overall exposure to punishment. In Santa Clara County, for example, a first offense domestic violence conviction will normally result in a 30-day jail sentence, while in other counties, the prosecution takes a more flexible approach considering the specific facts of a situation.
We are also familiar with the different anger management and family counseling programs throughout California. We are familiar with the programs that have the most success and the best reputations with the courts and prosecutors. Based on this knowledge, we can help you choose a pretrial treatment program that will have the most positive impact possible in determining the eventual resolution of the domestic violence charges against you.
Domestic violence and DVRO violations can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances of the incident, the extent of the victim's injuries, and the prior record of the defendant. Even in cases where the evidence against you is highly unfavorable, our experience with the defense of domestic violence cases enables us to make highly effective arguments at sentencing, which can make a significant difference for the practical consequences of a conviction.
