What Happened In Your Case — And What Needs To Happen?

It's been over 20 years since New York state passed a law that required police to be more responsive to reports of possible domestic violence. This law was called the Family Protection and Domestic Violence Act.

But getting police more involved isn't necessarily a good thing in every case. After all, sometimes there are false or overstated allegations. Sometimes domestic allegations become part of an attempt to get leverage in child custody cases.

No matter what the exact circumstances, I can use my experience to provide a strong defense against any type of assault charge. This includes stalking, harassment, sexual assault and all other potential domestic violence-related charges.

Is An Order Of Protection At Issue?

Many domestic violence cases involve requests by a party who feels threatened for an order of protection. This is an order by a court that could direct you to stay away from another person, not call them on the phone or place some other type of control over your behavior.

If this happens in your case, you obviously need to respond carefully. I am skilled in handling these cases and can help you take appropriate action based on your rights and interests.
