Domestic violence charges in California carry life-changing consequences—fines, counseling, restraining orders, loss of custody, and even constitutional rights. In this powerful episode of Counselor: Beyond Conventional Defense, attorney William Pernik of the Law Offices of William V. Pernik reveals how he takes on domestic violence cases with a groundbreaking approach that goes far beyond the typical courtroom strategy.

 

Unlike traditional defenses that often stop at the surface, William Pernik digs deeper into the root causes of conflict—whether it’s relationship struggles, communication breakdowns, mental health, or substance abuse. By addressing these underlying issues, his defense strategy not only protects his clients in court but also helps transform their personal lives for the better.

 

William shares compelling stories, including a remarkable case involving a police officer where his alternative defense led not to destruction, but to healing, reconciliation, and the dismissal of charges. This episode challenges the way California courts and communities think about justice, accountability, and second chances.
