If you have been arrested for domestic violence (DV), it is important that you hire a Riverside County criminal defense lawyer with a WINNING track record for defending people who have been arrested and charged with domestic violence. Your defense attorney and private investigator can act fast to set up interviews with you, your partner, and any family members, friends, or neighbors who can serve as witnesses on your behalf. The sooner your attorney can present sworn statements to prosecutors, the better are your chances of avoiding prosecution on domestic violence charges.

Domestic violence cases are among the most aggressively prosecuted cases in the United States. This is because there are a number of special interest groups committed to fighting against domestic violence, and they are providing a substantial amount of funding to prosecutors and police officers.

In previous years, law enforcement officer would never arrest a woman or man for domestic violence unless there was obvious evidence that serious abuse was taking place. Today, there is a strict agenda that police must follow anytime they receive a domestic violence call. Make no mistake, law enforcement officers follow a strict agenda that requires the arrest a wife or a husband or a girlfriend or a boyfriend if either party involved has any kind of visible bruise or injury on their body.

At the scene of a Riverside domestic violence incident, police generally will:

• Interview both parties involved.
• Take short statements from both partners.
• Assign the injured person as the victim and the person with no injuries as the suspected domestic abuser.

After your domestic violence (DV) arrest, your criminal defense attorney will interview you and your partner, usually with his professional investigator present. Thereafter, your Murrieta domestic violence defense attorney and his investigator will find and interview any other witnesses who could be helpful in your defense. Again, these interviews ideally are conducted, prepared and presented to the prosecution before charges are filed. The goal is simply to discourage prosecutors from filing charges if they are presented with solid evidence that no crime has been committed.

My strategy is to WIN YOUR CASE, not buckle at the knees and lead you to plea bargain your rights away. As your criminal defense lawyer, I would set up an interview with your partner as soon as possible. My investigator and I will skillfully interview your partner and, then, help your partner prepare a sworn statement in your behalf. In a sworn statement, a partner will often state that they either lied about or exaggerated their version of the incident because they were very angry with you, or jealous, or guided by other improper and untruthful motive when police were interviewing them for their original statement.

As your Riverside County criminal defense attorney, I realize that a WINNING STRATEGY requires that these sworn statements be sent immediately to domestic violence prosecutors. This WINNING STRATEGY has often resulted in convincing prosecutors to not file charges or dismiss charges that have already been filed against you. I recently persuaded a domestic violence prosecutor to dismiss the case against my client by presenting favorable witness statements and asking the prosecutor to have his own investigator conduct interviews with these same witnesses. This initial investigation could result in no charges being placed against you! At a minimum, prosecutors have a sworn duty to evaluate all credible evidence presented to them. Even if prosecutors decide to charge you with domestic violence, you already have prepared a defense that is aggressive, strong, convincing and very likely to lead to a dismissal or an acquittal at trial.
