Orange County Domestic Violence Criminal Charges

Although anyone claiming to be a victim of domestic violence can always initiate criminal charges, in Orange County and throughout California, if the police are told of possible Domestic Violence situation, the police or the Orange County District Attorney can press charges on behalf of the alleged victim, and continue to pursue the charges in Orange County Superior Court, regardless of if the alleged victim wants domestic violence charges pressed.  

Once the domestic violence charges are filed by the Orange County District Attorney, the charges will not typically be dropped regardless of the situation because the prosecutors believe that any alleged victim could have been threatened or pressured in to doing so.  The prosecutors and judges can usually recount horror stories to support this assertion.

Depending on the injuries alleged to have occurred during the alleged act of Domestic Violence, you can face a range of charges from misdemeanors to attempted murder and be sentenced to simple probation to life in prison.  The court can also issue restraining orders that affect your rights to see your family.
