If you or someone you know has been arrested for the crime of domestic violence it is important to get the help af an experienced criminal defense Lawyer as quickly as possible.

Domestic Violence Charges can be as simple as a misdemeanor or as serious as a felony.  California Law treats those arrested for this type of crime very differently than if the person were involved in an incident with a stranger or someone they are not related to or involved in a relationship.  The bail on these types of cases is intentionally higher and other conditions such as protective orders are often imposed even before the case gets to Court.

The police will usually "take sides" when responding to a domestic violence call and soon become biased based upon their own beliefs and life experiences.  It is not uncommon for a law enforcenent officer to automatically presume that the male involved a fight was the aggressor and therefore is often the only person arrested and taken to jail.  In these situations, the police report will many times be fraught with one sided, exaggerated information which will be viewed by the District Attorney.

A Lawyer experienced with Domestic Violence Charges can cut thru the bull and work towards getting the criminal charges dropped or dismissed in Court.  Attorney Matthew Ruff has personally handled hundreds of cases involving domestic violence allegations including: spousal abuse (PC273.5),  battery on a domestic partner (PC243(e)(1),  terrorist threats, vandalism,  ADW, trespass,  sexual assault,  among many others

When you need a Lawyer to FIGHT for you, call attorney Matthew J. Ruff.  He is in your corner.  Mr. Ruff has consistently been able to get dismissals in cases involving domestic violence.  His track record at trial has also been stellar, unlike many lawyers who talk about going the distance for their clients, Mr. Ruff has gone in front of the jury at trial on many cases where his clients have been charged with criminal DV charges and he has never lost.  In one recent case his client was accused of inflicting severe injury to his wife during a physical confrontation.  Despite graphic photographs of facial bruises and contusions, Mr. Ruff was able to convince the jury that the case was self defense and the jury acquitted his client.
