Family Law and Domestic Violence
If you are in an abusive situation, you need to file a petition for injunction for protection against domestic violence. A restraining order is an important tool in protecting yourself and your children from violence. This protection is available even if you are not seeking to press charges in criminal court or get a divorce. There is no reason to wait to get the help you need. In addition to representing you in family law proceedings, I can help you get in touch with local resources devoted to helping victims of family violence.
Criminal Defense and Domestic Disputes
As an experienced Milton domestic violence defense lawyer, I represent clients who allegedly have perpetrated domestic violence. These allegations may be used as a tool to gain an advantage in child custody or divorce cases. I can provide the aggressive spousal abuse defense you need to protect your rights in criminal and civil proceedings.
If you have an injunction against you, you must obey the restrictions under all circumstances. You are not allowed to carry a firearm. You must not contact the person who filed the injunction, even if he or she reaches out to you or asks you to meet. The injunction is specific to you and cannot be waived or ignored simply because the petitioner has a change of heart.
