A false accusation of domestic violence can lead to significant consequences. An individual can be convicted of various charges, which can result in situations including:
- Penalties monetarily, such as fines
- Loss of any firearms owned and the ability to ever own a firearm
- The filing of protective orders
- Serving time in jail
- Being involved in a mandatory program for batterers
If you are accused of domestic violence, it is also vital to speak to a Los Angeles domestic violence attorney before speaking to any prosecutors or law enforcement who can use anything you say against you.
