Bamieh & Erickson - Ventura Domestic Violence Defense Lawyers

If you've been accused of domestic violence in an application for a restraining order, or if you've been arrested on charges of violating an order for protection, contact the Ventura domestic violence defense attorneys at Bamieh & Erickson for a free consultation about your case.

We handle cases involving allegations such as the following:

• Spousal abuse or abuse of a domestic partner
• Mutual battery
• Emotional abuse or intimidation
• Economic deprivation
• Sexual abuse
• Threats of violence or harassment
• Stalking
• Violations of domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs)

Restraining orders can be obtained upon the application of the complaining party without notice to the alleged offender, provided that a court date is set for hearing the other side of the story. We'll work closely with you to investigate the circumstances of the incident and make sure that your defense is presented as clearly and effectively as possible.

We also represent parties in divorce cases involving allegations of family violence, child abuse, or threatening behavior. It is essential to make a timely and vigorous defense of these charges, because the issuance of a DVRO against you can have a disastrous effect upon your right to meaningful child custody or parenting time.

Violation of a DVRO is a criminal charge that can be punished as a felony if the defendant has prior offenses. We work with our clients to make sure that they complete the anger management or counseling services necessary to address their problems. In some cases, we can work toward reduced misdemeanor charges or even deferred adjudication that can result in the eventual dismissal of the case.
