There are two sides of every coin when it comes to domestic abuse. We represent both sides: domestic violence victims and those who have been accused of being abusive. In both instances, we believe that it is absolutely imperative that people know and understand their legal rights.

The restraining order which can be filed is taken care of in the family law arena, not the civil arena. Only when the order has been violated can criminal charges be filed. If you feel that divorce is ultimately the best choice in your situation, we are fully capable of helping you through that process.
there are people who have made false allegations of abuse in relationships. We have a large catalog of resources at our disposal to be able to completely investigate the situation.
