whether you are the victim of violence or if you are accused of being a domestic abuser. Domestic violence is violence that happens in the home. It can happen in any relationship, even between children and adults. It also doesn’t have to be physical. It can be psychological, verbal, or even sexual.
At S.G. Morrow & Associates, we represent both victims and alleged abusers in the courts. We have been helping people with domestic violence cases for more than 20 years. But we do more than just defend you in court. We are also counselors. You need to understand your rights under the law as a victim or as the accused, and you need to know someone is on your side.
One of the things that lock people in abusive relationships is feeling like there is no way out of the situation without catastrophic loss. Some feel like they’ll lose access to children or their homes if they choose to leave, or even approach the police. Many fear for their lives.
There are legal protections you can take, and the attorneys at S.G. Morrow & Associates can assist you in obtaining those protections. We can help you get a domestic violence injunction to protect you from your abuser. These are commonly known as restraining orders. So long as your abuser doesn’t violate the order, the situation will stay in civil court. But if it is violated, the criminal justice system will take over the situation.
If you need to leave your abuser and need to have an divorce lawyer, an alimony lawyer, or a child support lawyer we can help you.
This in itself is a form of abuse. It is using the justice system as a weapon. If this has happened to you, Attorney Morrow will fight aggressively in your defense. She will fight the charges vigorously to dissuade the court from issuing a permanent restraining order.
Unfortunately, once the permanent restraining order is put in place, it is very easy for the other person to allege a violation. Violations can have serious consequences, especially if immigration issues are involved.
