Domestic Violence

I am experienced in litigating cases in which domestic violence has occurred. If needed, I will help you obtain a temporary restraining order to help protect you and your children from an abusive spouse. In rare cases where a spouse obtains an ex parte temporary restraining order against you which is groundless, I will help you have the temporary restraining order dismissed. I also file divorces involving domestic violence and advocate for the victim of the violence, keeping the court apprised of the special needs of the victim and the children of abuse on custody and visitation issues. I understand the psychological dynamics between the abuser and the victim after many years of training and experience with cases involving the battered wife syndrome.
