CLA 2019 Annual Meeting: The Intersection of Criminal and Family Law in Domestic Violence Cases

Domestic violence cases often lead to consequences in both criminal and family courts. At the California Lawyers Association’s 2019 Annual Meeting, a co-sponsored CLE by the Criminal Law and Family Law Sections helped lawyers understand these cases from both perspectives. On The Road host Laurence Colletti talks with Albert Camacho about his portion of the presentation focused on protective orders and the considerations lawyers should be aware of when domestic violence cases also involve immigration issues. Albert also discusses some Criminal Law Section Executive Committee goals for the coming year, the efforts to reach out to rural lawyers to increase their representation in the section, and the opportunity for law students to enter the Marshall M. Schulman Annual Competition for Student Papers in Criminal Law.

Albert Camacho Jr. has been an attorney with the Los Angeles County Office of the Public Defender since 1994.
