How a Defense Attorney Can Help

When facing domestic violence charges, a criminal defense attorney will play a major role in helping you avoid the many negative consequences of an accusation alone. For example, the alleged victim has the right to seek a restraining order against you. If you do not have an attorney and do not contest this restraining order, you may find yourself in a situation where you cannot come into contact with the alleged victim and/or your children as well. You may need to move out of your home, if you share it with the victim, even if you pay the mortgage or rent.

Add to that the serious criminal penalties associated with a domestic violence conviction, and working with a Fairfield criminal defense lawyer will be in your best interests. Some of the penalties that one may face for a Solano County domestic violence conviction include: up to 4 years in state prison and/or a fines of up to $6,000. If domestic violence is against a child, the defendant may face up to 6 years in state prison and up to $6,000 in fines.
