Why Defendants in Los Angeles Trust Rubin Law, P.C.
Experienced in Domestic Violence Defense
Domestic violence cases are complex. We understand how LA County courts handle these charges and use that insight to build defenses that address both the legal reality and the personal impact on your life.
Focused on Evidence & Due Process
Allegations often rely on incomplete police reports, 911 calls, and biased witness statements. We dissect every piece of evidence — including bodycam footage and medical records — to find the cracks in the prosecution's case.
Protective Orders & Immediate Relief
Domestic violence arrests frequently trigger restraining orders that can remove you from your home. We act fast to contest EPOs, protect your parental rights, and prevent unfair exclusion orders.
Negotiation & Alternative Resolutions
When appropriate, we seek alternatives — counseling, anger management, or diversion programs — that can result in dismissal or reduced penalties without jail time.
Types of Domestic Violence Cases We Defend
Domestic violence charges in California range from misdemeanors to serious felonies. We defend all of them.
Domestic Battery — PC §243(e)(1)
Any alleged physical contact with a spouse, dating partner, or cohabitant. Charged as a misdemeanor even without visible injuries.
Corporal Injury to Spouse — PC §273.5
Felony charge when prosecutors allege visible injury to an intimate partner. Carries state prison time and a potential strike.
Criminal Threats — PC §422
Verbal, written, or electronic threats of serious harm — can result in felony charges even without any physical contact.
Child Endangerment — PC §273a
Allegations involving exposure of a child to harm or unsafe conditions. Can lead to separate criminal charges and CPS involvement.
Violation of Protective Order — PC §273.6
Disobeying a restraining order — even unintentionally — can result in additional charges and mandatory jail time.
Stalking or Harassment — PC §646.9
Repeated unwanted contact or following someone. Can carry felony penalties and a permanent restraining order.

Cases We Handle
Proven Defense Strategies for Domestic Violence Charges
Self-Defense or Mutual Combat
If you acted to protect yourself, we gather 911 recordings, witness statements, and medical evidence to show your actions were reasonable and lawful.
Lack of Willful Intent
DV charges require proof the act was intentional. We argue contact was accidental, incidental, or misinterpreted.
False Allegations & Fabricated Claims
Accusations can be exaggerated or completely false — especially in contentious divorces or custody disputes. We expose inconsistencies and cross-examine witnesses.
Insufficient or Contradictory Evidence
No credible witnesses? Unverified injuries? Conflicting police reports? We use those weaknesses to argue for dismissal or acquittal.
Constitutional Violations
Unlawful arrest, failure to read Miranda rights, or coercive questioning can result in key evidence being excluded.
Negotiating Alternatives & Mitigation
Even in difficult cases, we advocate for anger management, counseling, or diversion programs that keep you out of custody.
