Merrisa L. Coleman-Bishop - San Jose Domestic Violence LawyerSanta Clara County domestic violence defense attorney Merrisa Coleman-Bishop defends persons charged with family violence, domestic abuse, or violating a domestic violence restraining order. For specific advice and defense at trial for your situation, contact Merrisa Coleman-Bishop in San Jose. While domestic violence charges are always serious, they can be especially problematic in a divorce case or child custody dispute. If a domestic violence restraining order is in force against you, the court will presume that your fitness as a parent is suspect, and it will be extremely difficult to get custody of your children or parenting time on reasonable terms. Although the most serious domestic violence criminal charges involve physical assault, fighting, and even weapons, a domestic violence restraining order can be granted in cases involving conduct such as pushing, blocking movement, threats, and even refusing to hand over car keys. Any violation of the restraining order that follows a finding of domestic violence can lead to a criminal conviction and time in jail. San Jose domestic violence attorney Merrisa Coleman-Bishop can investigate the circumstances of the criminal charge against you and present your side of the story. Her experience in defending domestic violence cases helps her expose false charges of domestic assault where the original charges are unfounded. She can also point out the context of the discord between the parties and bring out any extenuating circumstances that might result in a reduction or dismissal of the charges.
