Call us for bail today!

If you have been arrested and charged with "Domestic Violence" under California Penal Code sections 242, 243 or 273, you need help right away. As protections for victims have expanded over recent decades, the description of what qualifies as domestic violence has also widened! The definition of who can be a victim now includes someone who is a current spouse or former spouse; current cohabitant or former cohabitant in a home; a parent with whom the individual has a child; or a partner in a dating relationship. In short, the statutes can be viewed as covering any two people who have any but the most casual of relationships at the present time or in the past. "Domestic" is a term that has morphed into something that can go beyond any kind of intimate personal relationship to include even roommates sharing a house or apartment. "Violence" can now be interpreted as being what someone considers to be behavior that is "abusive" but involves no physical contact at all.

Because of the vagueness of the terminology, Domestic Violence charges pose a number of challenges for defense attorneys. It is important for you to be out of jail and available to work with your legal team to assist in your defense. That's where we come in.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the definition includes "willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and emotional abuse". A felony conviction can result in as much as six years in jail or prison and other penalties that can be ruinous.

The amount of bail required to get a defendant released on any charge is set by the courts on a county-by-county basis. In Sacramento County, bail for a charge of domestic violence could be set as high as $10,000. In San Joaquin County domestic violence bail can exceed $100,000 and in San Francisco County the bond could be double that.
