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.

  • “You always made sure I was protected and secure.”
    It is unfortunate that we had to meet under the circumstances that we did, however, I am very privileged to have met you and your daughter, Erica Madrid. During the time you were my attorney, you and your daughter always treated me with the most respect. You ALWAYS listened and paid attention to all the details of my case. The matter in which you treated me and my case is just amazingly great, I felt as if I was the most important client you had. You always made sure I was protected and secure. These past three months have been the longest three months of my life. I just could not move on with my life, it was as if my life was put on hold! Every court appointment that we had, you ALWAYS represented me with the most professionalism, which says a lot of your law firm. My preliminary hearing date came up and I was very nervous, scared, and I just was not myself. The entire preliminary hearing was very intense, however, I always felt so confident in my attorney representing me. After a long hour and a half, it came time for the judge to make a decision, and when the judge said "case dismissed," I could not hold back the tears and the emotions going through my mind and body, I felt so much joy! Right away, I was thanking The Lord for the blessing of continuing on with my life. I was able to breathe without feeling afraid. There are no words to express to you and your team how thankful I am for all the hard work that was put in into my case. Thank you for fighting for me, my life, and my family! God Bless you, your family, and your law firm. May you continue to service others like the way you and your law firm did for me.
    - S.P.

    Erica is a great lawyer to work with. I had no idea what to do about my situation and she was able to help me with my case and get me a better deal with the court.
