All in the Family

• The fact that an allegation of violence occurs within a domestic setting has a profound effect on how law enforcement and the courts will view the behavior. An action that would result in no more than a disorderly persons (misdemeanor) offense under other circumstances often takes on greater importance when it occurs within a family setting.
• Given the serious nature of a charge of domestic abuse, it is not surprising that such cases involve equally serious consequences. Beyond the legal ramifications, there are innumerable social consequences related to your job and family, including child custody issues. Having the right attorney to address your concerns and support you through a difficult time is essential.

Somewhere between Black and White

• Domestic cases are rarely cut and dried. Given the broad definition of abuse, an action as simple as a text message or a phone call made while under the influence of alcohol after a restraining order has been put into place may result in an arrest.
• Because the truth can be elusive, domestic abuse charges must be handled carefully. Whether you are a victim or the alleged perpetrator, securing legal services that address your concerns directly is crucial.
