Working with a Riverside Criminal Attorney

Domestic violence is a term used to describe violent acts committed between family members, spouses, ex-spouses, people in a romantic relationship or people who live together. It may take on many forms, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect and child endangerment. It may be charged as a  misdemeanor or a  felony in California, typically depending on the extent of injury inflicted on the alleged victim and whether the defendant has been previously convicted for domestic violence.

Regardless of the nature of your specific charges, it is important to remember that you have the right to legal counsel. If Riverside law enforcement are called to the scene of an alleged domestic abuse and you are arrested, the most important things you can do are to remain silent and contact your lawyer. These will be the first steps to take toward building a defense against your charges.
