We will help make sure California's domestic violence laws protect you

California has some of the strongest domestic violence laws in the United States. If you are the victim of domestic violence, a knowledgeable and experienced attorney can help you to protect your rights under the law.

Restraining order violations: Under the law, a person charged with violating a restraining order will face a mandatory arrest. We can seek to have district attorneys prosecute the violator.

Former spouses and former co-habitants are protected by the law: Many people think that only married couples and co-parents of a child are protected by DV laws. If a former spouse or person with whom you shared a living relationship has assaulted or threatened you, we can make sure the law is applied.

Up to $2,000 is available to help DV victims relocate: We can help you secure the money available to help you and your family move to a safe housing arrangement.

Police are required to give victims a copy of the DV report: If you are having trouble getting your copy of the domestic violence police report after an arrest, we will fight for your right to the information.

If you are the victim of domestic violence, you deserve legal help to fight for your rights. You may not get all the help you need at the police station. We are ready to start protecting you right away.

False allegations

Under California law, a person may be charged with domestic violence if one party in a domestic dispute makes an allegation of physical harm. Unfortunately, many people are falsely charged. The damages caused by false allegations of domestic abuse or child abuse can be long-lasting and have a serious impact on a person's future. At the Law Offices of Frank J. Prainito, we take domestic violence and abuse charges seriously. We also know that not everyone charged with domestic violence is guilty. If you have been charged with domestic assault, or a similar DV charge, contact us to discuss the situation.
