Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

After almost 30 years handling these types of cases, and being a Former Deputy District Attorney, I can tell you that your story is not unusual. Many times people call law enforcement and don't expect the hell that follows, and, in many cases, the government taking the matter much farther than you ever expected. The best thing you can do is get him a very experienced law firm to fight the charges. Many criminal defense attorneys offer free consultations, so I suggest calling a criminal defense attorney and let the expert go over the case and give you direction. I'm sure that once to retain the right firm, things will begin to move in a better direction.....I hope that helps.....David Wallin

Once police respond to a domestic violence call, someone is going to jail, period.

Hire him a good attorney and work with the attorney as requested.

If he doesn't know how to represent himself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will defend, try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I�ll be happy to help fight and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses and sympathies there may be. I�ve been doing these cases for many years.
