San Jose Domestic Violence Attorney
Spousal abuse or domestic violence is often triggered by factors such as alcohol or drug abuse, jealousy, in-law interference, mental illness or financial stress. Sometimes an abused person truly feels in danger. In other cases, she or he calls the police without understanding the legal consequences that ensue.
Once law enforcement becomes involved in a domestic violence or spousal abuse matter, it is no longer a private domestic matter. The police often make an arrest after a call for help has been made.
If you or your significant other is in jail because of a call to the police in an alleged domestic violence/spousal abuse case, a knowledgeable defense lawyer is essential. Attorney Brian Madden in San Jose is available to help make arrangements to get you out of jail and to begin the process of developing a strong defense.
Associates Brian Madden and Robert C. Redding at Madden & Redding have practiced law together for 32 years. Attorney Madden handles criminal defense, and Mr. Redding practices family law. Spousal abuse or domestic violence is an area of the law where family law and criminal law often intersect. Californians who have been charged with abuse of a wife, husband, girlfriend or boyfriend are encouraged to contact us to schedule an initial consultation. To learn more about family law matters please visit Mr. Redding's website.
A successful defense in a domestic violence/spousal abuse case very often includes a commitment by the accused to take steps to prevent future incidents. Anger management, behavioral therapy, couples counseling and other types of preventive intervention often help bring about a favorable outcome: release from jail, restored freedom to go home and have contact with one's children, reduced charges and penalties, or case dismissal.
