Before you know what has happened, someone is being arrested. If that someone was recently you, we can help.

At The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, we represent individuals throughout the San Diego, California, region who have been arrested on domestic violence or spousal abuse charges, such as assault, battery or making criminal threats. If this has happened to you, don't feel like you are alone.

The important thing to know is that domestic violence laws have become stronger and stronger in recent years. Prosecutors have become more aggressive as well. What this means to you is that it doesn't matter if the police were called by a neighbor or your child or even a stranger who just happened to be walking by — if there is any sign of visible injury, someone will be arrested. If you are arrested, the prosecutor will decide whether to charge you.

That said — an experienced criminal defense lawyer can protect your rights and minimize the damage to your reputation, your life and your pocketbook. Many of our clients take the advice we give them about enrolling in an anger management program as soon as possible. Many also choose to have us work toward an alternative disposition to their case. In our experience, if you work toward creative custody options and diversionary programs such as "Rancho L'Abri" and "Freedom Ranch" from the beginning — they are usually attainable.

Of course, we will work with the court to obtain the outcome based on the facts of your case.
