Dec 27, 2017 in Criminal Defense, Domestic Violence Domestic Violence Reduced to Misdemeanor
Domestic violence cases are typically pursued aggressively by Oakland prosecutors. This makes it essential to protect your record and secure a result that does not unfairly punish you. For example, attorney Elliot Silver represented a man who was accused of holding his wife over a 15th story balcony. This was a serious and potentially devastating situation, but attorney Silver saw the situation for what it was and expedited the case to a manageable conclusion. By negotiating with the prosecution, his client agreed to participate in 52 weeks of domestic violence classes, time served, and plead to a misdemeanor.
The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
