Riverside Child Abuse Lawyer

Accused of child abuse in the Inland Empire?

There are many different actions that can be considered abusive. When an abusive action is directed against a minor under the age of 18, the abusive individual could be arrested and charged with the crime of child abuse. Actual physical harm, threats of imminent bodily injury, sexual abuse, and many other actions can result in child abuse charges. If you have been arrested and charged with this crime, then it is imperative that you seek the legal assistance of a Riverside domestic violence lawyer in your case as soon as possible.

The penalties for child abuse will depend on the specifics of your case. If you are charged with child abuse under California Penal Code §273(d), then you could face serious penalties upon conviction. This specific charge is a wobbler, which means that you could be charged with either a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on your criminal history and other circumstances of your case.

Penalties for Abusing Children in California

If you are charged with a misdemeanor offense and are convicted, then you could face penalties of up to one year in county jail and up to $6,000 in fines. If you are convicted of a felony charge of child abuse, then you will face penalties of two, four, or six years in prison, and a maximum fee of $6,000. It is important that you retain skilled legal assistance in your case if you have been charged with this crime.

"Wonderful Attorneys"
All of these good reviews are true! Excellent representation!! I unfortunately got the dreaded DUI case and Ty and his partner Yvonne analyzed the facts, guided me on the best direction I should take, guided me very well throughout the whole process, and always did exactly what they said they would do and when. You can never expect a miracle but you can't go wrong with the professional expertise and diligence that this firm gives. They are truly great attorneys. My case is still not decided yet but I am already satisfied no matter what the outcome as I know that I enlisted the help of true pros. Don't hesitate to hire them.

"Great Attorney!"
I was facing a felony domestic violence charge which carried serious jail time and would cost me my job but Ty was able to get it plead down to a misdemeanor and no jail time. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

"Case dismissed"
Facing a DUI and 2 counts Mr. Martinez was very helpful and left no page unturned. Nothing got overlooked. A DUI is stressful enough but, I had full confidence in his work. He is friendly, confident, thorough, and with his help the case was dropped. I had been unfairly accused on this case and he performed his duties with 100% accuracy. Very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Martinez to anyone in need of counsel.

"Yvonne is an excellent criminal defense lawyer"
I searched the internet and discover Tyrone R Martinez & Yvonne Todd. Very next day his partner Yvonne Todd met me at the court and she explained step by step, how we would approach the case and how she would handle. When my future is on the line, and being accused of child abuse, count 1 as felony and count 2 as misdemeanor, a criminal defense lawyer Yvonne Todd will be your rescue. Yvonne was with me every step of the way, from the beginning to the end. To make the long story short, we won the trial by unanimous jury decision on felony and misdemeanor case was hung and favor of us 7 to 5 jury decision. Eventually both cases were dismissed. I cannot even put into words how appreciative I am of her hard work and expertise. My deepest appreciations and gratitude for the outstanding work that Yvonne Todd has shown. She was very professional, prompt, and knowledgeable and handled my case with uppermost concern. I would strongly recommend Yvonne as your attorney any given day.

"Ty is very good"
Ty was recommended to me by a lawyer friend, and I have only the best things to say about my experience. I hired him to take care of a failure to appear I had that had turned into a warrant. I was very nervous, and put all of my faith in Ty. He was upfront and honest about the consequences I was facing, and he was completely honest about his fees. There were no hidden costs. Even though my case was probably not a big deal to him, Ty treated me as if I was very important, and was consistently in touch. Due to his skills, I was able to get a good deal, and I feel like I really have someone on my side. Ty is awesome and skilled. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.

"He handled everything and was able to get charges down"
I had lots of mail come in after I was arrested. I was most comfortable with his correspondence and chose to go with him. He is extremely helpful via phone and emails and always returned them right away. I never met him until one of my court appearances. I would not even have to attend but he needed my paper work signed by a notary. He handled everything and was able to get charges down and community service. I have even passed out his business cards to some of my colleagues. I feel extremely confident with him and highly recommend him.

"Quick to respond and led me through every step of my process with ease."
Would just like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Martinez for their remarkable work. Quick to respond and led me through every step of my process with ease. Flexible on my payment plans and best of all had my sentence reduced. I highly recommend and thank you again.

"Case Dismissed"
2 months ago I was charged for domestic violence not for a misdemeanor but for a felony! I was scared because I didn't do anything to my girlfriend but leave the situation because we were having a heated argument. The neighbors called the cops for the yelling and the cops said I fled the scene so that's why I was tagged for a misdemeanor. I received plenty of letters in the mail for lawyers and called around. I was impressed with the way Ty Martinez was honest and straight up with me so I went with him and it was the best decision. He was able to get my case dismissed. I am very thankful for his help. He always kept me updated on what's going on. I never had a problem of getting a hold of him he always returned my call. He has a payment schedule that I was able to do. I would definitely hire Ty Martinez again if I needed a criminal attorney and definitely refer him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.
