San Diego Domestic and Family Abuse Lawyer
Domestic violence is not just something that happens between spouses. It covers any violence or threats of violence between members of a family or between people in a dating relationship. Even juveniles can be charged with domestic violence, whether it is against a sibling, parent or a girl or boyfriend.
At the law office of Richard F. Arroyo, I represent clients charged with domestic violence. With 30 years of experience defending the accused against criminal charges, I have the knowledge to fight the case against you. I also work with psychologists and counselors who can help a juvenile or adult with anger management issues. To schedule an appointment with a San Diego domestic violence attorney, please contact my office at 619-370-9074.
Domestic Violence Charges
Individuals who are charged with domestic violence are very often accused by a girlfriend or boyfriend, husband or wife. However, I also represent individuals and juveniles accused of domestic abuse of a parent or child in the home. Individuals charged with animal abuse also need representation. Serious injury to an animal may result in felony charges.
Most of us think of domestic abuse as physical violence, but it also includes:
- Emotional abuse
- Verbal abuse
- Threats to seriously injure or kill
- Harassment
- Stalking
Minors who are charged with domestic violence may be detained in juvenile hall. My goal is to avoid detention by arguing for house arrest.
San Diego Restraining Order Lawyer
Restraining orders are very common in domestic violence cases. You have the right to respond to a restraining order in court. If you violate a restraining order in California, you can be arrested and subject to custody time, fines and a 52-week domestic violence class. Experienced defense representation is critical if you are in this situation.
