In this video, criminal defense attorney Daniel Vaswani discusses how domestic violence cases are handled in California and the mandatory penalties that come with a conviction. California has a specific definition of domestic violence, and if convicted, you could face mandatory penalties imposed by penal code section 1203.097. These include attending a 52-week batterers intervention course, paying a minimum fine of $500, and serving a mandatory term of probation for at least three years. Your attorney must understand the defenses available for domestic violence, as any conviction could lead to incarceration.
