Defining Domestic Violence
Many people are not aware that domestic violence is not limited to disputes among married persons. Domestic violence can also occur between family members, roommates or intimate partners. In our more than 15 years of experience, we have handled numerous disputes for our domestic violence clients, including issues involving:
- Child abuse allegations
- Child neglect
- Harassment
- Stalking
- Orders of protection
- Restraining orders
New York law was just amended to allow restraining orders or orders of protection to anyone who is involved in an intimate relationship. This change affords victims extra security when it comes to domestic violence.
If you are a victim, you should take immediate legal action. You do not have to suffer at the abusive hands of your spouse, family member or significant other. Through protection or restraining orders, we will do whatever it takes to help you feel safe.
Protecting Your Future
If convicted, your domestic violence charge can result in serious consequences for your future, as well as the relationships that you have with your friends and family. Not only could you be facing jail or probation time, your employment opportunities, loan applications and even the custody of your children can be negatively affected by a domestic violence conviction. Don't let your fate be left to chance. Let us help you to protect your rights and your good name.
