Understanding The Penalties Of Domestic Violence In California

In California, domestic violence charges may be filed as either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on whether an injury occurred and the defendant’s prior criminal record. If the incident involves harmful or offensive touching without a visible injury, it is charged as a misdemeanor. Conviction may result in:

  • Up to 12 months in county jail.
  • A fine of up to $2,000.
  • Completion of a required 52-week batterer intervention program.

If the incident results in a corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition, it can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. The penalties, generally, include:

  • From one year in county jail to two, three or four years in state prison.
  • A fine of up to $6,000.
  • If there are qualifying prior domestic violence convictions within the past seven years, the maximum fine increases to $10,000.

In addition to incarceration and fines, a conviction often triggers:

  • Protective orders: You may be barred from contacting the alleged victim or returning to your residence.
  • Firearm prohibitions: A conviction results in a lifetime ban on owning or possessing firearms.
  • Professional impact: Convictions can lead to the suspension of state-issued professional licenses or the loss of security clearances.

What Should I Do If I Am Accused Of Domestic Violence?

The most important thing is to stay calm and use your constitutional right to remain silent. Do not try to explain your side of the situation to the police, because anything you say can and will be used against you. Do not contact the alleged victim for any reason, as doing so could violate a protection order and result in additional criminal charges. Your first step should be to contact a criminal defense lawyer.

Can A Domestic Violence Charge Be Dropped?

It’s a common myth that the alleged victim can simply ‘drop the charges.’ In California, once the police make an arrest and file a report, only the district attorney has the authority to file or drop criminal charges. Even if your partner decides they don’t want to testify or that it was all a misunderstanding, the state can proceed with the case.

However, attorney Ali can use the other party’s lack of cooperation, along with weak evidence, to aggressively negotiate with the prosecutor and seek to have the case dismissed.

Will A Domestic Violence Conviction Stay On My Record?

If you are found guilty, the domestic violence charge will appear on your public criminal record, which may impact your ability to secure housing and employment. Based on the specific details of your case, attorney Ali can assist you in seeking expungement of your record under California law.
