At Maas and Russo, we are committed to representing clients who have been accused of, or arrested for, domestic violence or domestic abuse in or around Solano County or Napa County, California. With decades of experience, we have represented thousands of cases.

Unfortunately, criminal laws are extremely broad in the way they define the standard for domestic violence, often allowing overreactions and emotional decisions to lead to the arrest of someone who may not be guilty. As soon as someone makes the accusations of physical or emotional abuse, the police will arrest the alleged perpetrator regardless of whether the accuser was acting out of anger or telling the truth.

Once the arrest has been made and the charge has been placed, nothing can stop the defendant's trial, including the accuser changing his or her mind once they calm down. False accusations of domestic violence are far too prevalent, ruining the lives of innocent people on a daily basis. These empty claims are often found to be the result of a bitter divorce, a heated argument, or a long-time grudge against a former partner.
