Domestic Violence

Edward N. Ajlouny
San Jose Domestic Violence Lawyer

A domestic violence conviction can have serious consequences, even for a first-time offender. The state of California considers domestic violence a serious problem. This can result in the aggressive pursuit of a domestic violence case even when the evidence is scant. Sometimes a spousal abuse charge is used as leverage in a divorce or child custody case, or just to get even. A conviction could jeopardize your divorce or custody proceeding, including a one-year long Domestic Violence class, three years' Probation, possible jail time and prohibiting you from owning a firearm in your own home.

Knowing the System

I have handled all types of domestic violence cases including assault and battery, rape, and false imprisonment. I have won some very tough cases at trial. Because the evidence is often lacking, I can sometimes get the D.A. to drop the charges. Even if my client is convicted of domestic violence, I am often able keep that client out of jail.

If you have been charged with domestic violence, you may face serious consequences, especially if you are in a divorce or custody proceeding. Hiring a good lawyer, with much experience in Domestic Violence cases, like myself, will better your chances to get out of trouble with the least consequences.
