• Family abuse
• Child abuse or striking a child
• Terroristic threats
• Violation of a restraining order

Domestic violence cases can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the severity of the incident and the prior record of the defendant. In situations where the complaining witness shows obvious signs of injury, the suspect must be taken to jail by the arresting officer.

Because of the complex personal relationships and history of escalating or mutual abuse that can characterize some domestic violence cases, persons facing these charges can benefit best from legal representation that looks beneath the surface of the criminal charges in order to identify the causes and patterns of the abusive conduct, whether or not the parties are married.

Los Angeles domestic violence defense attorney Mark Khalaf knows how to investigate and analyze family abuse charges with the goal not only of resolving the current criminal defense problem but also of avoiding any future incidents that can carry even more severe penalties through counseling, treatment, or anger management programs.
