Domestic Violence Charges in Los Angeles
Domestic violence charges are very serious matters and can put your entire future at risk. The penalties can vary from a misdemeanor offense punishable by fines or possibly a jail term up to a felony offense that can carry a long prison sentence. Domestic violence charges can result from a number of acts including stalking, harassing behavior or assault & battery. Domestic violence cases are very complicated and emotional. These cases often boil down to two different versions of events.
When law enforcement is called to investigate a domestic violence incident, they evaluate the situation and if there is any evidence of harm being done they are obligated to make an arrest.
