Domestic Violence or Spousal-Cohabitant abuse is common and in most cases when law enforcement responds they are required to arrest one or both people involved.
Domestic Violence offenses are classified as a felony 273.5(a) of the California Penal Code or as a misdemeanor 243(e)(1) of the California Penal Code, depending on the severity of the injuries.
Whether you have been arrested for the misdemeanor or the felony section it is unlikely that you will be released without posting bail. Even if the person who made the complaint does not desire prosecution the State can proceed with filing charges and prosecuting you, which means you could remain in jail.
Contact us immediately, so we can make arrangements for your bail and get you released.
