Torrance Criminal Defense Lawyer

Domestic Violence Defense in Torrance

Domestic violence charges can be filed even when no visible injuries can be found on the alleged victim. Once law enforcement is involved, prosecutors can move forward regardless of the victim’s wishes. 

If you have been accused of domestic violence, you may face: 

• Criminal protective orders
• Jail time or probation
• Loss of firearm rights
• Immigration consequences
• Family court complications, including child custody loss or restrictions
• A permanent criminal record jeopardizing employment, housing, and more

We understand how emotional and complex these cases are. Houlé Law fights false allegations and works to minimize the impact of the charge on your life, family, and future.

Defense Against Sex Crime Allegations

Torrance police and prosecutors take sex crime allegations extremely seriously. These charges often carry not only prison time but also mandatory lifetime sex offender registration, even if the evidence is thin or based solely on the alleged victim’s word.

We defend clients facing charges such as:

• Sexual battery
• Rape and sexual assault
• Indecent exposure
• Lewd conduct or acts with a minor
• Internet sex crimes
