The police and prosecution no longer need a cooperating victim to pursue domestic violence or spousal abuse charges against you. They can go forward with the case whether or not the alleged victim is willing to press the charges. Depending on the facts of the case and any previous criminal convictions, domestic violence can be charged as a felony with lifelong consequences.

At the law firm of Seymour I. Amster, Attorney at Law, we understand how serious a domestic violence charge can be. We therefore thoroughly investigate the facts of your situation and consider possible motivations behind the allegations: an argument over money, a child custody dispute or even old-fashioned jealousy.

Even a misdemeanor domestic violence charge can cause serious problems for licensed professionals in medicine, nursing, teaching and other occupations. It can also jeopardize your immigration status if you're a foreign national in California on a visa. Our approach to your defense will focus not only on the facts of your case, but also on other important interests that you need to protect.

We represent clients facing such domestic violence charges as the following:

• Domestic assault and battery
• Kidnapping or false imprisonment
• Stalking or harassment
• Spousal abuse or rape
• Terrorist threats
• Domestic violence with vulnerable victims such as children or the elderly
• Cases involving divorcing spouses or former domestic partners
