Domestic Violence & Orders of Protection

If I am the victim of domestic violence what can I do?

Spousal abuse and domestic violence may be physical, or may take the form of threats, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, controlling behavior, economic deprivation, or stalking and harassment.

No one should have to endure violence or abuse in an intimate relationship. That’s not love. And it will keep happening until you take control of the situation.

If you have experienced domestic violence by a spouse, partner, boyfriend, girlfriend or family member, now is the time to act. Such violence can be life endangering for you and/or your children.

How can you help me if I am in an abusive relationship?

We will go to court with you to get an order of protection for you and your children to keep the abuser away from you and your children. We will also faithfully protect your interests in a divorce proceeding or a contested parenting dispute. An order of protection forces the other person to move out of the home and have no contact with you and your children. If the abuser violates that order, it is a criminal offense that can result in jail time.

As an aggressive trial lawyer, we will be your voice and get you out of an abusive relationship. For many years, we have advocated for victims of domestic violence. While usually women, we have also represented abused men. We are ready to help you. Just call us.
