Domestic Violence Attorney Anaheim

THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEY ANAHEIM WHO'S MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Anaheim residents who have experienced domestic violence will tell you that there's little worse than feeling the helplessness of being trapped in an abusive relationship. How can you really defend yourself if your spouse or significant other causes you physical & verbal harm?

How can you get out without ending up on the streets with nowhere to turn? Fortunately, at Jos Family Law, our compassionate domestic violence attorney Anaheim can help get you through this difficult phase with dignity and respect.


California Laws Against Domestic Violence

California law defines domestic violence as assault, battery, or other violence committed by a spouse, former spouse, co-habitant, fiancé, or any similar person. A conviction can lead to up to 6months in jail for misdemeanor charges & up to 4 years for felony charges.

If the victim is pregnant, injury occurs, or there is contact with sexual organs, then the penalties may increase. There are also special provisions if weapons are used during the commission of the crime. The length of time that someone spends incarcerated depends on the severity of their crime.

The judge will also take into consideration mitigating circumstances such as provocation and self-defense when determining the sentence length. There is no mandatory minimum sentence, so judges can impose sentences based on individual cases.


What Is The Order Of Protection?

An order of protection is an order from the court that prohibits the abuse of one person by another. This includes any type of abuse, including physical, mental, or emotional abuse. Additionally, the judge may also prohibit one party from contacting the other in any manner and create reasonable restrictions on what each party can do on the jointly-owned property.

An order of protection can be filed even if someone has not been abused in the past and even if there is no relationship between the parties. It will last until it expires - unless it is terminated earlier by either the issuing court or by legal agreement of the parties to terminate.

You may likewise file for an order of protection without filing for separation/divorce, child custody, support, or any other family law matters. There are many genuine reasons why one would need an Order of Protection, and Anaheim domestic violence attorney Mr. Binoye Jos knows how to handle your case effectively and with care.


If Someone Interferes With An Order Of Protection, What Happens To Them?

If you've been granted an order of protection, there are serious consequences for interfering with that protection. Interfering with an order of protection is considered both a crime and a civil wrong. Here are a few crucial & essential things to consider:

  • There will be penalties if the person interferes with your protection order, which can include imprisonment or/and fines.
  • In addition to criminal penalties, they may also be ordered by the court to pay compensatory damages.
  • The judge may place them on probation as well as require them to go through counseling, anger management classes, & other related services deemed necessary by the court.
  • Under certain circumstances, interference with an order of protection can be punishable as a felony offense.
  • For breaking the provisions of an Order of Protection against domestic violence, elder abuse - sexual assault, or stalking, there are both criminal & civil penalties.

Life After Abuse Can Be Promising

Domestic violence is insidious. Among the essential & critical things that domestic violence victims struggle with is getting the genuine courage to leave their abusers. Victims are often terrorized by those they love. Even if they do manage to get away, it can be difficult for victims to start their lives over and move forward.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

He was very empathetic and understanding with my case and my concerns. The team was always supportive and never once did I feel like they didn’t take my case seriously. I’m so grateful I chose this law firm to represent me and I would 100% recommend this team to anyone seeking assistance. In the end I received the outcome I was looking for which was Sole Physical Custody. Thank you so much Jos Family for representing me.

This was the second attorney that represented me for my divorce. Binoye is a very knowledgeable, fair, and professional attorney. They are reliable and this made my experience way less painful. They are definitely not greedy for money, they are not one of the many attorneys out there who overbill for their services. I truly recommend them.

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!
