Our Domestic Violence Practice
We will represent either party in domestic violence proceedings, including contested hearings on a request for a restraining order. If you are defending against such a request, it is critical that you retain experienced counsel, as the consequences can be substantial. You can be prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm. You could lose your job.
If the restraining order is put in place, your actions will be severely restricted and you may easily find yourself facing felony or misdemeanor criminal charges for violation of the terms of the restraining order. To violate the restraining order, you don't need to physically assault the other person. Customarily, threats of bodily harm or death are sufficient to place you in violation of the order.
Whether you seek to put a restraining order in place or to defend against one, we will take all legal steps necessary to protect your interests. Often, a restraining order can be avoided by negotiating a no-contact or limited contact order during the course of your divorce. We will aggressively pursue this option, provided it is in your best interests.
