Handling Spousal Abuse Allegations in Sacramento
Many situations can result in domestic violence charges. Domestic violence can involve spouses, children, family members, dating partners, and people living together in the same home.
Domestic abuse can be:

- Sexual
- Financial
- Psychological
The circumstances of the allegations against you will determine how your case is prosecuted. The penalties for a domestic abuse conviction are severe, often including jail time and fines. A conviction can also affect other areas of your life, including your custody of your children.

In addition to dealing with the penalties of a conviction, you may also feel a negative impact on your reputation and social life. If you are dealing with domestic violence charges, our experienced criminal defense attorney can craft an effective defense on your behalf.
