Los Angeles, CA family law attorney Robert W. Eisfelder talks about how he helps clients who have been falsely accused of domestic violence by their spouse. He explains that clients often approach us when they are facing accusations of domestic violence, sometimes even before we are officially retained. Dealing with domestic violence cases requires a careful examination of the specific circumstances involved. We delve into questions like what exactly transpired, the reasons behind it, and the presence of any witnesses. In many instances, law enforcement is involved, resulting in police reports that serve as critical evidence. Initially, courts tend to lean towards issuing temporary orders to ensure immediate protection, followed by a subsequent hearing or trial where cross-examination plays a crucial role.

Effective preparation for cross-examination necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the facts. It is vital for clients to be open and forthright with their attorneys, allowing them to effectively represent them in cases involving violence or allegations thereof. By fostering a transparent and honest attorney-client relationship, we can navigate the complexities of domestic violence cases and work towards achieving the best possible outcome.
