Assault 
According to California law, there are different types of assault for which anyone can be criminally accused, and each has its own set of penalties. Therefore, if you are facing a criminal accusation related to assault you need to take swift action in obtaining a defense attorney who can represent your case.

Battery 
The type of battery you are charged with will depend on the way in which your court case proceeds. Domestic battery, sexual battery, battery causing serious bodily injury, battery against a police officer, and more are all punishable under the law.

Burglary 
A burglary charge implies that preconceived intent was involved with the act of theft for which you are now being charged. This makes the charges against you more severe, and as such you should not wait to obtain sound legal defense for your case if you have been accused of such.

Domestic Violence 
When police are called to the scene of a potential domestic violence case it is very likely that an arrest will be made, whether or not you are guilty of the accusations that have been made against you. Therefore, you will need an aggressive defense attorney on your side to combat these allegations.

If you have been arrested for possession, transportation, trafficking, or anything else you should read more contact our firm.
