More about Domestic Violence Charges in Burbank
Domestic violence charges in Burbank are extremely serious, and can be charged as felonies or misdemeanors. Persons charged with these offenses are typically subject to many negative consequences, as you will read, below.
Importantly, at the first court appearance, a judge will issue a Restraining Order against the person charged with a domestic violence violation. This generally prevents a person charged with a domestic battery charge, from returning to his or her home. A Protective Order will oftentimes remain in place until a case is resolved, or even throughout probation, if a person is convicted.
The above scenario is an important reason why it is extremely important to find an experienced Domestic Violence Defense Attorney in Burbank, who will make significant efforts to contact the Prosecutor’s Office before a case is filed, to present his client’s perspective on the matter, and present mitigating information which the Prosecutor would not ordinarily have when making a decision whether to file charges.
