Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence Lawyer in Chino

Defending Your Charges

Domestic violence charges are taken incredibly seriously in California. All that is needed to arrest someone under the pretense of abuse is evidence of a domestic disturbance and a witness report. California law does not necessarily leave it up to the alleged victim to press charges, but the decision rests in the hands of a prosecuting attorney. With so little needed to press charges and so much at stake, it is imperative that if you have been arrested, you defend your rights.

As terrible as it sounds, people are wrongfully charged with domestic violence more often than not. People allege that they have been struck or abused if an argument gets out of hand or an ex-spouse can make a false accusation to gain an upper hand in a divorce or child custody proceeding. Domestic violence crimes can carry additional charges as well, such as child abuse or an accusation of an accompanying sex crime.

Allegations against domestic violence may surface for a number of reasons and during many different situations. California Penal code addresses multiple types of domestic violence, including injury to a spouse, elder abuse, criminal threats, and child endangerment. Based on the witnesses, evidence, and statements that are received during your trial, your penalties may vary. Regardless of what you are being prosecuted for, you need to get in touch with a Chino criminal attorney to receive representation after an arrest and accusation of domestic violence.

  • “I was always treated professionally at all times by both lawyers and their staff.”
    I was arrested for domestic violence even though I was 100% innocent. I hired the Madrid Law Firm. They immediately assisted my family in securing my release from jail. I was always treated professionally at all times by both lawyers and their staff. My case went to trial. Ms. Erica L. Madrid was my trial lawyer. God sent me an Angel. She never gave up on me. The jury returned a Not Guilty verdict. Thank you Erica for being my Guardian Angel!!

  • “I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney!”
    This review is for Erica at Madrid Law Firm. Without getting too into my DUI case, I had a special circumstance conviction. She was able to get me the best possible deal from the DA. I truly believe that! Felony dropped to a misdemeanor, bail amount decreased. She was very informative and responded in a timely matter. It was never difficult to reach her and she took the time to explain all my questions. I never got the feeling I was bugging her-- and that matters when determining your attorney! She knows what she is doing, took care of all the DMV matters for me. I highly recommend her, very trustworthy!!

    Excellent Work on my behalf. Unfortunately I found myself in a tough legal matter but Erica made the best of my situation. My Charges were significantly reduced with her assistance and I only had to visit the courthouse once. She is passionate, dedicated, professional and very thorough. She responded to all my calls/emails/texts and explained everything to me in the language that I can understand. I am glad to recommend her services.
