Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence Lawyer in Chino

Defending Your Charges

Domestic violence charges are taken incredibly seriously in California. All that is needed to arrest someone under the pretense of abuse is evidence of a domestic disturbance and a witness report. California law does not necessarily leave it up to the alleged victim to press charges, but the decision rests in the hands of a prosecuting attorney. With so little needed to press charges and so much at stake, it is imperative that if you have been arrested, you defend your rights.

As terrible as it sounds, people are wrongfully charged with domestic violence more often than not. People allege that they have been struck or abused if an argument gets out of hand or an ex-spouse can make a false accusation to gain an upper hand in a divorce or child custody proceeding. Domestic violence crimes can carry additional charges as well, such as child abuse or an accusation of an accompanying sex crime.

Allegations against domestic violence may surface for a number of reasons and during many different situations. California Penal code addresses multiple types of domestic violence, including injury to a spouse, elder abuse, criminal threats, and child endangerment. Based on the witnesses, evidence, and statements that are received during your trial, your penalties may vary. Regardless of what you are being prosecuted for, you need to get in touch with a Chino criminal attorney to receive representation after an arrest and accusation of domestic violence.

  • “I was always treated professionally at all times by both lawyers and their staff.”
    I was arrested for domestic violence even though I was 100% innocent. I hired the Madrid Law Firm. They immediately assisted my family in securing my release from jail. I was always treated professionally at all times by both lawyers and their staff. My case went to trial. Ms. Erica L. Madrid was my trial lawyer. God sent me an Angel. She never gave up on me. The jury returned a Not Guilty verdict. Thank you Erica for being my Guardian Angel!!

    If I could give more stars I would! Working with Edward, Erica and their team was an amazing experience. They went above and beyond and were extremely aggressive with my case at a cost that was significantly lower than I expected. I was extremely blessed to have had Edward and Erica by my side through the toughest battle of my life. I highly recommend this office!

  • “If I had to describe The Madrid Law Firm in one word it would definitely be FAMILY.”
    It was a Sunday morning, I was in my restroom, in tears, scared, lost and clueless when someone gave me the number to Ed Madrid. I immediately called, not knowing what to say, what to ask, or even if someone would answer (it was Sunday). Ed answered very politely, friendly and caring. He right away gave me comfort and walked me through what we needed to do to get on top of everything. My brother was charged with a very serious drug case, where he was facing 25 years to life. Never had we had to deal with anything remotely close to this so my family and I were scared, confused and saddened. When I walked in to meet with Ed and his daughter Erica, they right away made me feel welcomed and comfortable. They were very honest in giving me the information and at the same time caring as it wasn't easy to hear what my brother and my family would have to face in the process. We had millions of questions and it never mattered what time it was, Ed always answered and explained everything thoroughly. Initially my brother was facing 25 to life for the severity of the charge, Ed and Erica were able to drop it down to 7 – 9 years and, in the final sentencing, they brought it down to 5 years. My brother has currently served half of his sentence and The Madrid Law Firm has never stopped checking up on my family and I to make sure we are all doing ok. In March there was a sentence reduction amendment sent to congress that would benefit my brother, if passed. Ed is already on it! He's giving me the information and is ready to move forward as soon as the law is passed. I always had the impression that attorneys would be sneaky, take your money and when the case was closed they were done and that was the end of the story. Not with The Madrid Law Firm, they always stay in contact and make you feel like you're dealing with family. Thank you Ed for all your patience, your help and your friendship. My family and I will be forever grateful for all your help.
