San Diego, California, Assault and Battery Defense Lawyer
Assault and battery charges are treated very seriously in California, especially if they are connected with domestic violence. In fact, if the police are called during a suspected domestic violence dispute, someone will be arrested. Depending on the circumstances of the case, children may be removed from the home.
At the San Diego area Law Offices of Bill O'Connell, we have been representing the accused in assault and battery charges for more than 30 years. We know how to protect our clients and minimize the consequences they face.

We understand that there are multiple sides to the same story. The prosecution always favors the victims. We are here to advocate for you.
Easy to talk to and tough in the courtroom, we carefully analyze your case by listening to your account and comparing it with the evidence. We challenge the prosecution's case by looking at all the factors of the case, including whether you committed the act in self-defense. Our goal is to prevent restraining orders and temporary orders of protection and secure a dismissal of your charge.
Domestic Violence in the Military
Military members convicted of assault and battery or domestic violence have particular challenges because they will not be allowed to possess or own weapons. By pleading guilty, they limit their chances of minimizing or eliminating these charges and penalties against them.
If you are in the military facing domestic violence charges, make sure to contact our offices to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney. We can negotiate with prosecutors to allow you to possess weapons for your job and stay in the service.
