Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers in Riverside, CA

Experienced Riverside County Domestic Abuse Defense

Domestic abuse includes assault (Penal Code section 240) and battery (section 242) of anyone in your household, including your spouse, children, parents, or others with whom you live. You can also be charged with domestic abuse of your former spouse, and fiancé or fiancée, as well as anyone you have ever dated. Examples of domestic abuse can range from verbal criticism to physical beatings.

Once a domestic abuse complaint has been made, the charges cannot necessarily be dropped even if the accuser later recants his or her story. Whatever the specifics of the charges against you, please contact a Riverside domestic violence defense attorney at Blumenthal & Moore for quality legal representation and personal client service.

If you have been accused of domestic violence, start with a no-charge initial consultation.
