DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

If you have been arrested or charged with domestic violence in Long Beach, San Pedro, Lakewood, Bellflower, Seal Beach or Westminster, contact Long Beach criminal defense lawyer who has handled hundreds of domestic violence cases like yours for a free consultation on how to prepare a successful defense strategy in your case!  

If you have been arrested for domestic violence in Long Beach, San Pedro, Lakewood, Bellflower, Seal Beach or Westminster, it is important that you hire a Long Beach criminal defense lawyer who has successfully defended people who have been arrested and charged with domestic violence. Your Long Beach criminal attorney along with a 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 Long Beach attorney can present sworn statements to prosecutors, the better are your chances of avoiding prosecution on domestic violence charges.

Los Angeles and Orange County domestic violence cases are among the most aggressively prosecuted cases in the United States. This is because of the backlash from the OJ Simpson trial which assisted in creating a number of special interest groups committed to fighting against domestic violence. Those groups provide a substantial amount of funding for political campaigns.

Not too long ago, law enforcement would rarely arrest a woman or man for domestic violence. If an arrest was made then there was obvious evidence that serious abuse was taking place. Today, there are strict procedures that law enforcement must follow when they respond to a domestic violence call. Moreover, law enforcement officers follow a strict agenda that more often than not requires an arrest.

At the scene of a domestic violence incidence in Long Beach, San Pedro, Lakewood, Bellflower, Seal Beach or Westminster, law enforcement will generally:  

  • Interview the parties involved;
  • Take statements from both parties and all witnesses;
  • and typically, assign the calling party as the victim and the other non-calling party as the aggressor.

After a domestic violence arrest, a good practicing criminal defense attorney in Long Beach will interview you and your partner with a professional investigator present. Thereafter, your Long Beach domestic violence defense lawyer and the investigator will locate 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 encourage Long Beach, San Pedro, Westminster or Bellflower prosecutors from filing charges. Michael Cernyar’s strategy is to have your matter dismissed or rejected, not buckle and force you to bargain your Rights away. As your Long Beach lawyer, defending you in a domestic violence matter, our goal is to set a meeting with the prosecution quickly. In addition, we would set up an interview with your partner as soon as possible. The investigator 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 Long Beach criminal defense attorney, I strongly encourage that these sworn statements be sent immediately to domestic violence prosecutors. This strategy has often resulted in convincing prosecutors to reject the charges or dismiss charges that have already been filed against you. This initial strategy may 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.  

Michael K. Cernyar, Attorney at Law, is one of a proven criminal defense lawyer in the Long Beach. He has devoted more than 10 years of his life in criminal law and has put together successful strategies for many who have been charged with Domestic Violence. Your record and your freedom are too important to entrust to any other lawyer.
