What Does a Domestic Violence Charge Mean?

Domestic violence charges are much more serious than a normal assault and battery charge. California prosecutors are hard on domestic violence accusations, even if you face a false allegation or have been wrongly accused out of anger or jealousy. If this is placed on your permanent criminal record, a domestic violence charge will surface in background checks and may hinder you from gaining employment or housing.

In domestic violence cases, prosecutors must prove that the accused individual intentionally acted violently, resulting in a physical injury and caused a traumatic response to the person who was allegedly injured.

• There are defenses, however. These can include any of the following:
• A lack of intent
• Self defense
• False accusations
• Lack of concrete proof
