Domestic Violence criminal charges are a broad class of offenses
which involve physical violence or threatened violence on a family
member or former family member or current and past boyfriends,
girlfriend, wives, husbands or cohabitants.  The most common is
spousal abuse. This crime differs from the lesser offense of spousal
battery or assault in the sense that they can be committed by mere
touching or apprehension whereas the spousal abuse requires actual
injury, those particular violations are merely  misdemeanors.

Other examples of  Domestic Violence include:
  • Stalking
  • Violation of a Restraining Order
  • Vandalism
  • Trespassing
  • Assault with a Deadly Weapon
  • Battery causing Serious Injury
  • Rape
  • Annoying or Threatening Phone Calls
  • Sending Offensive or Threatening E-mail
  • Disturbing the Peace
  • Mayhem
  • Damaging or Destroying a telephone line
  • Criminal Threats
  • Child Abuse or Endangerment
  • Same Sex Domestic Partner Abuse
  • Elder Abuse

The primary difference between these crimes and other non-domestic
offenses is the punishment imposed. For example, if you get into a
fight with a stranger at a bar and are arrested and convicted of assault
you would generally not be ordered to complete one year of anger
management.  If a person is convicted of any penal statute involving a
family member or loved one California Law requires, among other
things, the mandatory completion of a 52 week batterer's program and
oftentimes a restraining order restricting the individual's conduct.

If you or someone you know is charged with a crime of Domestic
Violence, he or she needs to speak to an experienced criminal defense
Lawyer immediately.  Early intervention by a Burbank Attorney can
often avoid a lifelong blemish on their record, jail time, mandatory
counseling, stay away orders, lifelong ban on owning or possessing a
firearm and potential loss of child custody and negative divorce Court
implications.
