Los Angeles Domestic Violence Criminal
Defense Attorney

Arthur Khachatourians is an experienced attorney handling domestic violence
and spousal abuse criminal charges in Southern California. If you or someone you
know has been charged or is being investigated for a domestic violence crime, the
accused needs to exercise his right to remain silent and hire a qualified attorney to
represent him throughout the adversarial proceedings.

After People v. O.J. Simpson, the pendulum has completely swung the other
way. Police Departments arrest almost any reported incident of aggression toward a
loved one. Regardless of the fact that there no injuries or the victim recants her
story, the District Attorney's office and the City Attorney's aggressively prosecute
reported acts of violence. In cases where the victim recants her story, the
prosecutor attempts to introduce expert psychological testimony under the theory of
"battered women's syndrome." The penalties for domestic violence may include jail
time, anger management, batterer's treatment counseling programs, and fines and
penalties.

Domestic Violence cases are "Wobblers," meaning that the prosecuting agency
has the discretion to file the case as a misdemeanor or felony. The usual course of
filing depends upon the seriousness of the injuries and the criminal history of the
accused. Severe injuries such as broken bones or severe cuts will almost always be
filed as a felony. Cases involving no injuries or slight injury resulting from pushing
and shoving will generally be filed as a misdemeanor. If the accused also has a
criminal history involving domestic violence on multiple persons, this may also be a
deciding factor in filing the case as a felony. A thorough defense investigation of the
facts at all stages of the criminal proceedings is crucial to mitigate the charges,
advocate for a dismissal and/or prepare for trial.

Domestic Violence is the act of physical violence, threat or abuse against a
spouse, domestic partner, former spouse or significant other, or current boyfriend or
girlfriend. Domestic violence cases are aggressively prosecuted in California by the
District Attorney's Office or the City Attorney's Office. These cases have become so
common in California that a Domestic Violence Unit is established in each county
(Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino) to aggressively prosecute
the accused. Even if the victim decides to drop the charges or recants, the Domestic
Violence Unit will still prosecute the defendant. In such cases dealing with a
recanting victim, the prosecutor will have an expert ready to testify as to the theory
of Domestic Batter's Syndrome. The Prosecutor is the only one who can drop charges
because the victim is merely a witness in a government prosecution. If you have
been arrested for domestic violence or a related offense such as spousal abuse,
battery, assault, criminal threats, or threatening phone calls, you need a call an
experience attorney with the law firm of Tyler & Wilson, LLP to defend you.
