Representation for victims of domestic violence

If you're a victim of domestic violence, you will benefit from the advice of a knowledgeable lawyer who can add detail and evidence to the original allegations and make sure that reasonable protections remain in place. Both CLETS and non-CLETS domestic violence restraining orders can provide for emergency custody and visitation orders as well as offering some property protection.

Representation for the accused

If you are accused of domestic violence, it is essential that you take advantage of the chance to explain your side of the story and do everything possible to keep the restraining order from continuing against you. In cases where a restraining order is very likely to remain in place, your attorney can argue for less restrictive conditions or a shorter time frame to give you another chance to get it lifted.

A restraining order will not only make it very difficult for a person involved in a child custody or visitation dispute to maintain satisfactory access to a child, but it can also threaten your career. In many licensed professions, a restraining order is grounds for disciplinary or suspension proceedings by a State board.
