Domestic Violence

If you are convicted of a domestic violence crime, the court will issue a criminal protective order. This order will most likely include a no contact order, a no negative contact order, or allow a peaceful exchange of children.

A no contact order is an order preventing the defendant from making any contact with the victim whatsoever. This means the defendant must not talk, call, e-mail, or make any other type of contact with the victim.

A no negative contact order is an order preventing the defendant from making negative contact with the victim. The defendant is allowed to make contact and live with the victim, but is not allowed to annoy, harass, or alarm the victim. A violation of this order will most likely result in the court issuing a no contact order.

A peaceful exchange of children is an exception to a no contact order. The defendant will still be restrained from making any contact with the victim. However, the defendant can make contact with the victim if the defendant is there to pick up their child for child custody and visitation purposes.

The courts are increasingly serving defendants with criminal protective orders at arraignments on domestic violence charges.

If you have been charged with a domestic violence crime in San Diego, you are probably looking for a good lawyer to represent you in court. You are probably looking for the lawyer who knows how to beat your case and get the charges against you dismissed.

One of the best strategies for beating your domestic violence case is to have the support of the alleged victim – the person you allegedly injured – your significant other, or one-time significant other. It can be very beneficial to you if you and your domestic violence criminal defense attorney meet with the alleged victim at the same time. The alleged victim can help tremendously if he/she will write a statement in your defense.

In fact, in San Diego County, the District Attorney’s office has a form for alleged victims to fill out, giving a statement that they do not want to prosecute the charges and do not wish to testify against their partner. This can help your lawyer have your domestic violence charges dismissed in San Diego County.

San Diego Channel 6 reported that Marcus Giles, a former second baseman for the San Diego Padres, was arrested for suspected spousal abuse. He was arrested in El Cajon when his wife told police that he had assaulted her in their car. His wife did not go to the hospital , but he was taken to the San Diego county jail downtown. He was later released on bond.

If you or a loved one has recently been charged with spousal abuse or domestic violence in El Cajon, it is important to be aware of the seriousness of the charge. The state of California has extremely aggressive domestic violence laws, and the prosecutors in the El Cajon courts are serious about domestic violence. Potential penalties include the following:

1. Significant fines
2. State prison or county jail time
3. Mandated attendance of anger management classes
4. Reimbursement to victim of expenses or costs incurred, such as medical costs and lost wages
5. Probation for 3 to 5 years

Police can automatically arrest you if they have probable cause to believe that you committed domestic violence, and domestic violence suspects are almost always arrested. This is especially true in El Cajon, where the El Cajon police take domestic violence very seriously. The crime can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the facts of your situation. A domestic violence conviction on your record can have many lasting impacts on your life including restricting or denying visitation or custody of a child, and including the loss of your right to own or possess firearms.

If you have been arrested for a domestic violence crime in El Cajon, it is important that you hire an experienced El Cajon domestic violence criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The criminal defense attorneys at Wallin and Klarich can help you avoid many of the serious impacts of a domestic violence charge, including a reduction or a complete dismissal of the charges.

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.
