Domestic Violence

Riverside Domestic Violence Lawyer

The easiest way to defend charges of domestic violence is for the charges never to be filed. At the Law Offices of Jeffrey A. Van Wagenen, Jr., I assist clients in resolving cases involving domestic abuse prior to the charges even being filed. Additionally, if charges have been filed, I aggressively defend these clients.

Defense Prior to Charges Filed

It is important that you contact an experienced domestic abuse defense attorney immediately. Because I have extensive experience as a Deputy District Attorney, I understand what issues are important to a prosecutor. I may be able to provide the prosecutor information that may result in the charges never being filed. For example, after extensive investigation, I compile statements from witnesses and other important information into a report and submit it to the prosecutor. The prosecutor may deem that our case is stronger than the state's and not file charges. This report aids in resolving the case or preparing for trial.

Defending California Domestic Violence Charges

If the charges have already been filed, I evaluate my client's circumstances and work to place them in the best position to resolve the case. This sometimes means showing the judge, jury, or prosecutor that my client is getting treatment, such as:

  • Alcohol Anonymous (AA) or drug treatment
  • Marriage counseling
  • Anger management
