Re: Class of Charge

Thank you for your inquiry.

California doesn't have "classes" of felonies, as other courts do. Domestic violence can be charged as a misdemeanor, or felony, depending on whether or not there was "great bodily injury".

As a result, the answer to your question really depends upon the injuries involved.

I hope this helps, but if you have other questions, or want further legal assistance, please feel free to email me anytime at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to help in any way that I can.
