Q: Hi I was wondering how hard or possiable it is to get charges dropped or dismissed in Bakersfield ?
Where I am victim and the charges are against my husband , who has not been arrested on the charges yet? What could I do
A: If this is a domestic violence case (e.g., you called police on your husband after getting into some kind of dispute with him and police arrested him) that you now regret being involved in and want it to go away, be aware that the prosecution hears this same story on the vast majority of domestic violence cases. So, what your husband needs to do immediately is to hire and attorney and get some solid advice on how he can handle the case, which will indirectly lead to answering your questions.
A: The DA brings charges when there is sufficient evidence, and the DA can decide whether to dismiss a complaint. The witness may be ordered to appear to testify. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney.
