Domestic violence is a serious crime that can cause family disharmony and promote a pattern of escalating violence. It creates an emotional atmosphere that is not conducive to one's own mental or physical health as well as the mental or physical health of any minor children. If you have been abused by a family member, current or former spouse/partner, boyfriend or girlfriend, you should act immediately to see that this abuse is stopped and protect yourself and your loved ones.

We are here to help you and your family. Our legal knowledge, personal compassion and reputation for results provide hope and guidance to victims of domestic abuse.

Physical violence, threats, intimidation, harassment, stalking and interference with personal liberty may all grounds for a Protective Order. If you have been the victim of one or more of these acts, our office will act quickly to assist you in obtaining a Protective Order. A Protective Order will not only prohibit further abuse, but may also grant you exclusive possession of the residence, enabling you to live in peace, free from further abuse.

Defense Against Allegations of Domestic Violence 


In divorce and custody disputes, a party may use false accusations of domestic violence in an attempt to gain an advantage in those disputes. If you have been falsely accused of committing domestic violence, you need a skilled advocate to voice your side of the story and protect your rights and reputation.


It is important to speak with an attorney before consenting to an entry of a Protective Order. Once a person is adjudicated to have committed domestic violence, their parental rights and/or access can be adversely affected. These matters are usually time sensitive so it is imperative to act quickly to examine your options and to establish a solid response.
