Domestic Violence

Orange County Domestic Violence and Spousal Abuse Lawyer

At the female-run Law Offices of Jacqueline Goodman Rubio, located in Fullerton, California, our reputation for success in domestic violence cases is well-known throughout the Southern California legal community. In fact, many of our domestic violence cases come to us from referrals from fellow criminal defense attorneys. Being known for winning trials means better plea bargains and more dismissals. The right lawyer can increase your chances of avoiding conviction or jail. A skilled female defense attorney brings a unique perspective to the representation on a domestic violence case. We are never quick to seek a plea bargain if the best interests of our clients would be served by litigation. These cases, in particular, often present particular problems for the prosecution, which can inure to the benefit of the accused.

Advantages We Provide in Domestic Violence Cases

While we provide our clients with seasoned criminal defense experience and a significant record of accomplishment in domestic violence cases, we also provide them with the edge of having our female attorney, Jacqueline Goodman Rubio advocate on their behalf. However, a successful outcome comes from more than just the gender of your attorney. At our firm, we prepare and develop defense strategies designed to take the facts of the case into account, as well as counteract any evidence against you. It is important to note that sometimes the domestic violence charges are false and used for leverage in an impending or ongoing divorce or child custody dispute.

When the Accuser Recants

In many domestic violence cases, the accuser has a change of heart and wants to recant his or her statement. However, those alleging domestic violence have little, if any, control over having the charges dropped because the case is in the hands of the prosecutor. In these situations, we can work with an eye toward having the criminal charges dismissed and any restraining orders against our clients lifted wherever possible.
