Child Abuse Defense
Allegations of Child Abuse
Child Abuse in San Diego County
San Diego County’s child abuse incident rate is higher than the national average. Approximately 10,000 cases of child abuse are substantiated in San Diego County each year out of the nearly 40,000 calls of suspected abuse to the San Diego Child Abuse Hotline. After years of sweeping accusations of child abuse under the rug, the current social sentiment is to listen to the statements of every child, every concerned parent, and every professional and immediately prosecute the accused.
What To Do If You’ve Been Charged With Child Abuse
Child abuse charges can be filed based on a variety of situations, factual or otherwise. It is not unusual for accusations of child abuse to be levied based on misunderstandings, lies, or coerced statements. Unfortunately, this means that you may find yourself in court facing charges for a child abuse crime you did not commit related to a situation that didn’t happen at all. There are people who have been accused of various types of child abuse who never even made contact with the child. Unfortunately, family disputes, custody battles and bitter divorces sometimes result in false accusations of child abuse.
The serious nature of child abuse charges can have a dramatic impact on your life and reputation. If you have been accused of or arrested for a child abuse crime, talk to an experienced San Diego child abuse attorney immediately. Without proper legal representation, you could find yourself paying the price for something you had nothing to do with.

- Christina D.Wow. When I first met you I was 20 years old and scared to death. A drug addict behind bars and pregnant isn't where I thought I'd ever end up. That was 8 years ago. You're an amazing person and an awesome attorney and I'm lucky to have had you defending me. What you were able to do for me was give me another chance at life. You helped me to work with the system. Looking back, I couldn't have done any of it without you. I always recommend you to all my friends. You are, by far, one of the best attorneys out there, and a great person too!
- Anthony P.Today's result was outstanding! Thank you for your fine work! I will certainly recommend you should the need arise.
- Abby R."I hired attorney Michael Berg for my attempted murder case, and let me tell you I don't regret a thing! Not only is he fantastic at what he does, he's honestly one of the humblest men I have ever met. His smile and energy is very contagious. I don't know where I'd be if I didn't find him. He helped me get my case dismissed! I suppose you could call him a miracle worker. He basically saved my life. I'm very young and this was my first time getting into trouble with the law. He helped me throughout the whole process and always had an answer to my questions. If you're in need of a criminal defense lawyer I assure you, he's the one. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in hiring him."
