How We Can Help

Whether you’re dealing with physical assault, sexual violence, emotional abuse, or financial control, we offer strong legal representation to protect you. Our team helps you pursue a domestic violence injunction (restraining order), seek justice through the courts, and ensure that your rights and safety come first.

What Is a Domestic Violence Injunction?

A domestic violence injunction is a legal order that restricts the actions of someone who has threatened or harmed you. If granted, the court can impose various protections, including:

• No contact: Preventing the abuser from communicating with you in any way—whether by phone, text, email, or in person.
• No harassment: Prohibiting the abuser from stalking, following, or threatening you in any way.
• Distance requirements: Establishing a minimum distance the abuser must stay away from you, your home, and your place of work.

This legal protection is crucial for keeping you safe and starting the process of holding the abuser accountable for their actions.

Building Your Case

Documenting the abuse and violations of the restraining order is essential. Our team will help you gather the evidence you need, whether that’s through police reports, medical records, or witness statements. This documentation can be key to securing long-term protection for you and your family. It also strengthens your case if you’re seeking:

• Emergency child support or spousal support.
• Exclusive possession of your home and the family’s property.
• Sole custody of your children.

We’ll also help you seek justice by pursuing misdemeanor or felony criminal charges against the abuser, when appropriate.

Defending Against False Accusations

If you’ve been falsely accused of domestic violence, we’ll work with you to challenge the allegations and overturn any restraining orders that were filed against you. Everyone deserves a fair defense, and we’re committed to ensuring that your side of the story is heard.
