Being accused of a crime can be an extremely difficult and confusing experience. Whether you are being investigated, incarcerated, or charged, you can face severe penalties that can significantly affect your future. No matter what the crime may be, you will need aggressive and relentless representation.
A surprising but true fact is that it is possible to intervene before criminal charges are filed so as to stop the process dead in its tracks. If you are being investigated by law enforcement or have been arrested but not formally charged, please contact a Santa Barbara criminal defense attorney at Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP to explore your options.
Battery is generally considered a crime of violence and as such is treated very seriously in the California legal system. Any physical contact which is made without consent or the use of force or violence on another constitutes battery under California Penal Code Section 242. Assault and battery are very often charged together as in assault & battery in connection with fist fights and serious domestic violence charges.
California takes domestic violence allegations very seriously, and has a strict protocol for officers responding to domestic violence calls. Once the police arrive on the scene, there is a strong likelihood that someone will be arrested. The future of anyone arrested for uttering a threat in the heat of the moment or causing physical injury, even accidentally, is at risk.

Joshua Newstat is an outstanding criminal attorney. Mr. Newstat was able to give thoughtful, thorough, and, most importantly, useful practical legal advice regarding a wide variety of criminal legal issues. He always returned my calls promptly and was clear and understandable in his responses. I felt confident he would be able to resolve my legal problems.
