Charged with Domestic Violence in Los Angeles?
There are few criminal charges that are as frightening and worthy of concern other than domestic violence offenses. When an individual is arrested and charged with domestic violence, the arrest can be based strictly upon the testimony of the alleged victim, and this causes a situation that can result in innocent individuals being incarcerated and charged with a serious domestic violence offense. Those who have been charged with this crime could be facing misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the type of incident.

The firm can assist clients with any of the following types of domestic violence charges:
The Law Offices of Sean Tabibian: Experienced Domestic Violence Defense
Dealing with charges of domestic violence can be humiliating and damage your reputation beyond repair. When the charges are false or exaggerated, this can be devastating. In many cases, the action was an action of self defense. Proving this can be vital to your future, and with the help of a criminal defense lawyer from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, your case can be aggressively fought. In some cases, the charges are dropped before every making it to trial; in others it could be necessary to fight to reduce the charge or seek alternative sentencing, such as court-approved treatment programs that are available in the state.
The Domestic Violence laws in California are very strict, and include severe punishments for those who are convicted. For example, if you are convicted of battery against a spouse, ex-partner (girlfriend, boyfriend or cohabiting partner) or the other parent of a shared child, you could face up a jail term and a $2,000 fine. If you just threaten (whether verbally or in writing) your sentence could include up to 1 year in custody. These cases can be difficult as the tendency is to feel sympathy for the victim, even when that person is exaggerating or even making a false accusation. This creates a situation in which it is necessary to prove that these actions had other circumstances, or that the charges are completely false. How this is achieved can vary from case to case, but the most crucial aspect is that your defense begins immediately after the arrest, and before being interviewed by any law enforcement officer or investigator. With legal representation from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates, every effort will be made to defend you, your constitutional rights, and to protect you from the harm that can result if convicted of the crime of domestic violence.
