At The Law Office of Gregory H.Comings, we handle cases involving drug crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, violent crimes, and felony DUI.

Domestic Violence Defense

In California, domestic violence occurs when someone perpetrates certain criminal acts on a victim with whom they have a familial or intimate relationship: a spouse, an ex-spouse, a cohabitant, a former cohabitant in a home, a parent with whom a child is shared, or a partner in a dating relationship. If a prosecutor charges you with a domestic violence crime, they can choose which criminal charges to pursue based on how severe the actions were and how serious the harm to the victim was. If the perpetrator used willful and unlawful force or violence against someone else in one of these relationships, the prosecutor may charge domestic violence battery under Penal Code section 243(e)(1). This law does not require a visible injury.

There are often defenses available, such as self-defense or defense of others, based on the specific crime being alleged. In some cases, a prosecutor does not have enough evidence to establish a case beyond a reasonable doubt. For example, perhaps there is insufficient evidence that the use of force in a section 243(e)(1) case was willful. A criminal lawyer in Riverside or San Bernardino County can help you determine how to attack the prosecution's case.
