California Domestic Violence Laws

Domestic violence in Fresno

Although we love our significant other and family members, disagreements can still happen. However, if a verbal fight turns into a physical one, it is possible law enforcement officials will arrest the alleged offender, even if the alleged victim has regrets or made false allegations. That is why it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your rights and freedom from serious criminal charges.

At Sawl Law Group, we are dedicated to helping you avoid the harsh criminal penalties associated with domestic violence charges. Our Fresno domestic violence defense lawyers can thoroughly assess your case, figure out your available legal options, and build a strong defense strategy that proves either the police violated your constitutional rights or the prosecution has a weak case against you. Do not hesitate to get knowledgeable and skilled legal representation immediately.

Contact us today at (559) 205-7757 to schedule a free consultation with a Fresno domestic violence lawyer.

What is Domestic Violence?

In basic terms, domestic violence occurs when an individual causes physical, mental or emotional harm to another member of their household, either intentionally or through neglect. California Penal Code § 13700(b) defines this violent crime as “abuse committed against an adult or a minor who is a spouse… cohabitant… or person with whom the suspect has had a child or is having or has had a dating or engagement relationship.”

    "Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court."

    This was the first time I had needed to hire an attorney. I met with 7 different lawyers before I decided. Right away you can see this is a very professional firm. They did everything they said they would, including working things out so I did not have to appear in court. I am very pleased with the service and the way the case was handled. I would and do recommend them to my friends.

    "They are experienced in accident cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect."

    I highly recommend this firm. They are very busy, so sometimes you may need to be persistent in calling them. BUT they are experienced in accidents cases and fight for what money you deserve. They are honest and inform their clients on what to expect. Their lien doctors are excellent. You get all the medical treatment you need.

    "Had it not been for Sawl Law Group, I would not have been as far as I am today in my military career."
    This is by far the most experienced and professional team of lawyers I've had the pleasure of working with. The staff was amazing, polite and very attentive to all my questions and needs regarding my case. Mr. Taleisnik was very reassuring regarding the best possible outcome for my case. While preparing my case I was kept well informed and was consistently and accurately updated with any new information. Had it not been for Sawl Law Group, I would not have been as far as I am today in my military carrier. I highly recommend this professional and well experienced team of attorney's.

    "I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me."
    I retained the office to help me with some very serious charges that would hurt my career and long time goals. I was wrongfully accused of taking materials from a job site. I did not take them, this law office help prove my innocence. They helped me find an investigator for my case. The staff was always ready to help me and willing to go the extra step when I had questions. The Attorney later was able to get my case dismissed. I will forever be grateful to this office who helped me. I recommend Sawl Law Group if you want someone fighting for you.

    "I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed."

    Our Experience with the Sawl Law Group was only positive. My adult son was in serious trouble and refused to follow our extended family’s advice on how to plea, so as to enable him to get the help we thought he needed. Martin Taleisnik represented us and went above and beyond his call-to-duty on repeatedly meeting with our son and trying to talk sense into him. Because of his familiarity with the D.A.’s and judges, he was able to counsel us as to what to expect and whom to avoid, if possible.

    All we were concerned about was that my son would get a fair hearing and not be swept aside by the court process. During one court appearance, Mr. Taleisnik was in the judge’s chambers for over 20 minutes, presenting the mitigating factors in my son’s case. At the sentencing hearing, Mr. Taleisnik gave an impassioned speech to the judge which persuaded the judge to give my son probation. During that speech, a female sitting behind us in court tapped us on the shoulder and told us that she was impressed by our attorney.

    Regarding the fee. We were quoted a reasonable global fee that would cover anything that would transpire, short of a trial. My son’s case was continued almost monthly for 6 months, due to his co-defendant and other court procedures. Mr. Taleisnik was always there, on time, and would speak to us afterward in the hall, at length, about what the proceedings meant and what the next step was.

    I highly recommend Martin Taleisnik to anyone needing legal representation and would seek him out again, if needed.

    "Sawl Law Group allowed me to rest easy at night."
    Sawl Law Group allowed me to rest easy at night. I didn't have to follow up they were handling the matter so professionally. I would indeed go back to them if I had another issue. They were so kind and understanding.

    "They were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle."

    I just wanted to say a few things about Sawl Law Group. I had never needed to hire an attorney before, so I didn’t know what I was doing, or what to expect. When i had just been charged with a DUI; I had a pile of law offices to choose from. The first one that stood out was Sawl Law Group. They were very professional, and welcoming. Claudia made a long drive, just to meet with me face to face, and have a short conversation about my case, and my options. She made me feel confident that I could do much better than I had hoped. Claudia paired me up with Michelle, the attorney that would then, represent me. She took care of all my court dates (after signing a document of course) which was especially helpful with my crazy work schedule. Not only that, but they were able to lower my DUI to a much lesser charge of “Wet Reckless” saving me thousands of dollars, and time. So thank you Sawl Law Group, Claudia, and Michelle. And to anyone else who finds themselves in a bind; I definitely recommend starting here!
