Long Beach Crimes / Domestic Violence

Skilled Domestic Violence Defense

Like all of California, Long Beach takes domestic violence accusations seriously. Jail time, fines, counseling, restraining orders and probation are possible punishments, if you are convicted.

You could also have your child taken away from you, lose your job and be deported.

My name is David J. Givot. At the Law Office of David J. Givot in Long Beach, California, I defend clients charged with felony and misdemeanor domestic violence crimes. I understand how this type of charge can disrupt your family and threaten your reputation and your freedom. Rest assured, I will work to protect your rights as I aggressively defend you.

Domestic abuse cases are prosecuted aggressively. To fight the charge and work to minimize the negative impact of this accusation, you need a skillful attorney fighting for you.

Powerful Defense Strategies

Domestic abuse is any violent act or threat against a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant or child. These cases encompass a variety of charges, such as:

  • Spousal abuse
  • Child abuse
  • Physical assault and battery
  • Financial abuse
  • Social abuse
  • Verbal abuse

Domestic violence cases are complex. They require skill and in-depth knowledge of the law. Therefore, it's critical that you retain the services of an aggressive lawyer to fight for you.

Your freedom and reputation are on the line. You should contact an experienced criminal defense immediately.

Did You Know?

Even if the alleged victim "drops the charges" against you, you can be arrested and prosecuted. The prosecutor and the judge are the only ones who can drop the charges. They are not likely to do so.

Therefore, it is important that you hire an attorney who will:

  • Explain your options
  • Explore various defense strategies
  • Fight for you in court
  • Defend your reputation
