Arrested for Domestic Violence? You need the experts to fight for you!

Our Riverside, California law firm has over 30 years of experience handling criminal cases relating to Domestic Violence in the Inland Empire. We have dealt with and have expertise in handling domestic violence cases involving:

  • Family relationships
  • Live-ins
  • Spousal or Partner Abuse
  • Assault and Battery
  • Sex Charges
  • Corporal Injury on Children

Defenses in Domestic Violence cases are unique, often involving false allegations, self-inflicted injuries, mutual combat, self defense when attacked, and accidental injuries.

Reasons for false or exaggerated reports often arise due to custody battles, desire for child support raises, jealousy (retaliation for new girlfriends/boyfriends/spouse), to avoid paying spousal support, or punishment for seeking a breakup or divorce. With our substantial Family Law and Domestic Violence experience, we are uniquely suited to defend Domestic Violence cases. We understand the myriad of underlying issues that are at play in these situations and, coupled with our years of defense experience, are often able to reach very desirable outcomes on cases, either at trial, or in negotiations with the District Attorney.

If you have been arrested for Domestic Violence, don’t wait! Contact our Riverside law firm today!

Attorneys William Smith and Debra Smith
EXTREMELY AGRESSIVE!

Ms. Smith helped me with my custody case. I was very nervous and had no idea what to do or expect until I met with her. She explained the entire process to me and put me at ease. When my court day came up, she had everything in order and was extremely aggressive, professional and just what I needed.”

- Skylar

END TO MY ABUSE

“My case was very hard because it involved my wife being unfaithful for 26 years, raised 4 children and my dedication to her nearly killed me and disturbed my children. My attorney did everything right to end this abuse I suffered!”

- McDonnald

Had Enough Book Series
A three volume set that exposes the often hidden world of emotional and physical abuse as it exists in our society today; from its inception in a relationship, to its eventual depression or even destruction of the victim. Written by attorney Debra A. Smith, the books are full of first person narratives that describe actual abusive situations with chilling clarity, demonstrating the entire spectrum of abuse from verbal, to emotional, to physical. The series provides effective methods to assess an abusive situation and formulate a plan to escape it. The books are riveting reading, connecting with the abuse victim on a decidedly personal and realistic level.
