Victims of Domestic Violence

Individuals who have experienced domestic violence have legal options to seek protection. We work with victims of domestic violence to seek the type of restraining order that may be appropriate. Depending on the incident, a victim can seek a restraining or protective order that bans the aggressor from:

• Being in close proximity of the victim's house
• Entering the victim's house
• Calling the victim
• Contacting the victim at work

Restraining orders are available for spouses and others in a domestic relationship: individuals who are dating, individuals who are living together, parent / child and others in a family-like relationship.

Have You Been Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence?

In an act of desperation, one spouse may accuse the other of domestic violence to seek an advantage in a divorce. If you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, our firm's attorneys can help you explore your legal options.

One of the biggest inconveniences of having a restraining order issued against you is the fact that you may not be allowed to enter your own home. In the least, our firm will help you seek a temporary relief from the order that would allow you to enter your home and gather your belongings. However, we are prepared to fight on your behalf to avoid a conviction that carries harsher penalties.

If you are convicted of domestic violence, you may lose many rights, including your right to possess a firearm. You will also have to register with the police. You may face jail time. We can help you seek an outcome that will preserve your freedom and protect your relationship with your family.

Domestic violence charges are serious. To find out how we can help you fight accusations of domestic abuse or to find out what options are available to protect you and your family, contact us.
