Domestic violence charges often appear at a difficult time in a couple's relationship. We often see these charges appear during the course of a divorce or child custody case. These charges may be real, or they may be false allegations of abuse in the attempts to better position a party in a case. We understand that charges themselves are not indicative of domestic violence. An individual may be acting in self-defense. At times law enforcement assumes that the aggressor was the male, when it may be the female who instigated the domestic violence claim. We sit down with our client and listen to the entire story.
At Valencia, Ippolito & Bowman in San Jose, California, we assist clients with defending domestic violence charges. We stay up to date with the law and keep our clients informed of new developments that occur.
Our law firm has won numerous awards, including being named Criminal Defense Firm of the Year by San Jose Magazine.
Domestic Violence Testimony Issues
Cases of domestic violence are unique in nature. At times, out of fear, a victim does not want to testify against the perpetrator of domestic violence. In other cases, a victim may feel that it is not appropriate for the prosecution to proceed with their case against a defendant. Cases involving spouses, in particular, can be highly complex. Any person who is the victim of domestic violence may benefit from the assistance of independent counsel.
