Have You Been Falsely Accused of a San Diego Domestic Violence Charge?

You might have recently heard of the arrest of San Diego Chargers linebacker, Shawne Merriman on September 6th, 2009.  He was accused of battery and false imprisonment following an incident at his home in Poway.  His accuser, Tila Tequila Nyugen, stated that Merriman choked her and held her against her will.  Merriman told police he was trying to prevent her from driving home since she was under the influence of alcohol.  The San Diego County District Attorney declined to file charges.  Merriman was lucky unlike many other innocent people in the state of California who are falsely accused of domestic violence every day.

There are multiple reasons for why these false domestic abuse accusations could be brought up against you (or a loved one).  It can be out of anger or jealousy, for revenge, or to help your accuser in a child custody or divorce case.  Whatever the situation, if you have been accused of a domestic violence crime in San Diego County, you need an experienced San Diego domestic violence criminal defense attorney who will understand and hear your side of the case and get to the facts, an attorney who can clearly and concisely present your story to the courts.  An experienced San Diego domestic violence criminal defense attorney, if brought in early, could even potentially prevent charges from even being filed.  You could find yourself with the similar positive results as in the case above.
