Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: Domestic Violenc

Whoever advised you to plead guilty just because you don't have a record had no idea what he was doing. Get a lawyer, plead not guilty, and fight this.

Re: Domestic Violenc

As an aggressive female trial lawyer, I routinely successfully handle domestic violence cases which I often end up having dismissed or acquitted after trial. I handle both misdemeanors and felonies. Your case sounds like a routine case. YOU ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT PLEAD GUILTY! You will end up with a record and very heavy mandatory statutory sentencing terms. If you'd like to meet for a free consultation, I'd be happy to meet with you this week so that you can get to know my style of advocacy and I can provide you with more information about these cases and how an attorney can best defend them. Just so you know, if you are represented by private counsel, you do not need to appear in court because your case is a midemeanor. If you're represented by a public defender, you may have to appear in court on every court date.

You can email me at [email protected] to schedule a consultation in my office.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Domestic Violenc

Never plead guilty if you are not guilty. The ramifications are significant. There are ways of handling this. I have handled many domestic violence matters. I would not let you plead guilty. Letting a client plead guilty is a matter of convenience for the attorney. Get a referral to an attorney from a reputable source (or call me! :)). Do not let fear trick you into pleading guilty if you are not guilty.

Remain silent, plead not guilty, and GET an attorney. DV convictions carry serious consequences for the rest of your life. Feel free to contact me if you want to actually defend and fight this.
