Family Offense/ Orders of Protection
Unfortunately, high-conflict family matters can sometimes escalate into threatening or dangerous behavior. If you are being harmed, harassed, or feel unsafe due to the actions of a spouse, partner, or other household member, you may be eligible for a Family Court Order of Protection, a legal measure designed to provide safety and set clear boundaries.
- Orders of Protection can require the offending party to:
- Stay away from you, your home, or your children
- Cease all forms of contact (calls, texts, in-person communication)
- Surrender firearms or move out of a shared residence
- Follow other court-ordered restrictions for your safety
I act swiftly and strategically to help you obtain the legal protection you need. Whether it involves gathering evidence, preparing testimony, or representing you at hearings, I’m here to guide you through every step of the process with compassion and urgency.
On the other hand, if you’ve been wrongly accused of abuse or misconduct, the consequences can be serious and far-reaching—impacting custody, employment, and your reputation. I also represent clients who need to defend themselves against false or exaggerated claims, ensuring your side of the story is heard and your rights are protected in court.
