West Covina/Beverly Hills California Domestic Violence Defense Lawyer
When Family Conflicts Become Public
Every family and every couple experiences conflict of some kind or another from time to time. When a conflict crosses a line and leads to a call to the police, what was private becomes public.
Contact the Law Offices of Michael D. Payne in southern California for help if you or a loved one has been accused of domestic violence.
We have all read horrible stories of killings taking place between significant others and family members. More often, however, a domestic violence scenario goes something like this (adapted from a real case):
A husband and wife get into an argument. The wife gets upset and begins to inflict physical blows to the husband. The husband instinctively raises his hands to protect his face or torso. In doing so, he strikes the wife in the face or knocks her down. She in turn calls the police and asks for a restraining order.
Every variation of this type of story can and does happen from time to time. Each domestic violence defense case carries sensitivity, emotion and passion between partners or family members.
An Experienced Attorney Can Help You Get to the Bottom of It
If you have been named in domestic violence allegations or if your husband or wife has requested a restraining order against you, please call attorney, Michael D. Payne as soon as possible. The earlier your lawyer is involved, the more reasonably and effectively the case may be resolved.
You may be the one who called the police and now wish for help to get your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or partner out of jail. You want the opportunity to settle your disputes privately and peacefully. Talk to criminal defense attorney Michael D. Payne about your best options.
Anger Management May Be the Answer
The accused may be released on the condition of attending anger management sessions. Further investigation may reveal additional facts that the prosecutor was not aware of when the charges were made. We are prepared to delve beneath the visible dynamics to help you arrive at the least damaging resolution to your domestic violence matter, whether you are the accused or the accuser.
Was the victim also an aggressor? Was alcohol involved? Was a third party such as an extramarital love interest involved? The answers to these and other questions may provide the key to a successful defense in your domestic violence case.
