Guidance Through Difficult Criminal Accusations

Criminal charges for domestic violence and disorderly conduct can be brought against anyone who behaved in a threatening manner toward a member of his or her household. Even if you are not accused of actually striking or hurting anyone, you can be charged with domestic violence.


Domestic violence charges are a very emotional matter and often arise during turbulent periods in people's lives. For instance, true and false spousal abuse allegations are often made during the process of divorce.


You should not try to handle these charges yourself. An experienced lawyer can help you make informed decisions that are not clouded by your emotions.


If you are convicted of domestic violence, you will likely have to attend anger management classes and go through probation. Depending on your circumstances, a conviction could also affect custody and visitation with your children.

Skilled Counsel for Domestic Violence Restraining Orders

In addition to criminal charges, a person alleging domestic violence can also pursue a restraining order, formally called an injunction prohibiting harassment. This order may forbid the accused person from approaching his or her own home and family. Violating the order can lead to immediate arrest.


It is important to understand that the restraining order hearing is separate from a criminal trial. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you should make sure to attend the hearing with an attorney. If you have been the victim of domestic violence, one of our lawyers can help you request a restraining order.
