In California, when an innocent person has been arrested, whether the prosecutor declines to prosecute, or he charges and then dismisses the case, or the person is tried and found not guilty, there is a process to get a Court Order proving that he or she was factually innocent of the charges.

What this criminal lawyer has seen over the past 20 years is that false reports of domestic violence have mushroomed. Though there is a serious problem throughout the U.S. with domestic violence, laws have become so severe that the current status of the law approaches that of "presumed guilty."

No one expects to be arrested, but it can happen to normally law-abiding hard-working people. If you drink, you could be arrested for a DUI one day. If you are in a romantic relationship and a neighbor thinks you are too noisy in an argument, it could happen. So what should you do and not do?

Domestic Violence police calls, arrests and prosecutions are quirky and, sometimes irrational. The usual criminal law policies and procedures don't always apply, and the parties seeking aid are often sorry they ever dialed 911. It is good to understand the oddities of this strange area of law.

False accusations of crime abound, including those made to get a civil restraining order. It's today's best free, "Gotcha". Until recently, the false accusations remained a public record even when proved false. Now, it is possible to expunge such records.

If you have been arrested in California, but not convicted, you may be able to totally seal and destroy your arrest record to protect you from highly negative social, legal and career consequences of the arrest record.

As amazing as it may sound, in California, if a woman brags to her friends how she is anxious to get to her boyfriend's home so they can make love, does so, and is heard by the neighbors moaning and shouting "Yes, Yes, Yes!", she can thereafter accuse him of rape and he can be convicted.

The insurance industry has masterfully used their billions of excess profits to spread their message that "greedy trial lawyers" are victimizing injured people. Actually, these lawyers are the only thing that "levels the playing field" when accident victims battle rich, powerful insurers.
