Atascadero Restraining Order Attorney
Nobody believes that he or she could ever be charged with domestic violence or be the subject of a domestic violence restraining order. In reality, when situations become heated, often in the context of divorce, people are caught by surprise by how easily they can be charged with this crime. Even a heated argument with no physical contact involved whatsoever can lead to someone being arrested and charged with domestic violence.
At the Law Offices of William Ausman, we understand the unique emotional and relationship-oriented issues involved in domestic abuse defense cases. We know that these cases often involve one person using these charges to gain advantage in a divorce or a child custody dispute. We will fight for you and protect your rights.
Do Not Try to Explain Yourself to Police or Prosecutors
If you are arrested for domestic violence, you will feel the need to try to explain yourself to police or prosecutors. Unfortunately, particularly considering the emotions involved in these cases, you may not speak as eloquently as you would like to. If your words get twisted, they could be used against you. Talk to a lawyer first.
Domestic violence is a charge that must be taken seriously. A conviction comes with serious consequences, not the least of which is a mark on your record that will not look good to potential employers and other parties.
Restraining Orders
We have a great team that can work with you not only to defend against restraining orders and to help you avoid further issues, but that will also to help you take advantage of the protections provided by a restraining order if you believe that you or your children are in danger. Restraining orders, like domestic violence charges, must be taken seriously. They come with the loss of rights and also appear on criminal background checks.
