Domestic Violence Defense in San Diego County

San Diego prosecutors are going after domestic violence cases more aggressively these days. Much of this is fueled by the increased exposure the subject gets on shows like COPS and heavy lobbying from victim's rights groups. In response, prosecutors have a dedicated task force and the police have specially trained detectives. This added attention resulted in increased domestic abuse arrests causing San Diego County to set-up a special department in the courthouse just to deal with domestic violence cases!

The police arrive at the scene of a domestic violence complaint with a strict agenda - if there is an injury someone must be arrested. They have likely attended countless training sessions and have seen numerous graphic videos depicting serious violence. Yet, very little investigation is done at the scene. Typically, the injured person is deemed the victim, and the non-injured person is arrested.

If you have been arrested for domestic violence in San Diego, you must find a skilled attorney who will promptly arrange an interview of the alleged abuse victim and any children, relatives, friends or neighbors who may have witnessed the incident. Frequently, the alleged victim will admit in a sworn statement to defense investigators that the prior statement they gave to the police was false or grossly exaggerated.

As your San Diego domestic abuse defense lawyer, we can work quickly to present sworn statements to the prosecutors before a decision is made to file criminal charges against you - possibly preventing charges from ever being filed.
