A domestic violence conviction reaches into parts of your life the sentence never mentions. Custody of your children is the one people do not see coming, and it is a large part of why a domestic violence attorney treats even a restraining order violation as serious.
The charges grouped under domestic violence run from simple offenses to serious felonies, and California’s laws on them are strict. Alejo Lugo will work hard to protect you from unfair or unduly harsh penalties on any charge of this kind, such as:
- Domestic Battery
- Child Abuse
- Child Endangerment
- Elder Abuse
- Restraining Order Violations
- Revenge Pornography
Possible Defenses to Domestic Violence Charges
Many domestic violence charges suffer from unreliable evidence and uncooperative witnesses. If the police did not document proof of injuries to the victim, the prosecutor may not be able to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our over 20 years of experience gives us the necessary expertise to effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence and negotiate with the prosecutor to attempt drop the charges before going to court.
