Often in domestic violence cases, a judge may grant a temporary restraining order first, with a scheduled final restraining order hearing set within 10 days. The accused person will likely be removed from the home and also may be unable to see his or her children. At the hearing, evidence and testimony is reviewed by a judge to determine whether or not to grant a final restraining order. Depending on the case, and the mindset of the alleged victim, criminal charges might also be filed.

I am a La Mesa domestic violence attorney who can handle all aspects of these types of cases. I view case strategy as more of an art than a science, so I will tailor your defense to fit your situation. I am a skilled negotiator who also can advocate for you in the courtroom.

Effective Representation From an El Cajon Drunk Driving Attorney

In California, any driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or higher can face DUI/DWI charges. Penalties with a conviction include heavy fines and the possibility of jail time and license suspension. Underage drivers who violate California's zero-tolerance policy, repeat offenders and anyone caught driving with a BAC of .16 or higher may also face enhanced penalties.

DUI charges should not be taken lightly and require the assistance of a skilled attorney. I am Daniel W. Cohen, a La Mesa DUI defense attorney with a proven track record with these types of cases. I will carefully examine your case to build a strong strategy, which may include working toward deferred sentencing or avoiding/reducing jail time.

If a case is caught in time, I also can help arrange bail and represent your interests in an Administrative Per Se Hearing with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), where driver's license suspension is determined. I also represent clients in expungement proceedings, seizing any opportunity to help you clear up your criminal record.
