Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence Lawyer

New City, New York • Rockland County

I represent people who are being abused and people who have been wrongly accused of domestic abuse. Both situations impact many lives and affect everyone in the family. Domestic violence also leads to divorce. If a spouse is accused of abuse, he or she will not receive custody of the children.

If you have a legal concern regarding domestic violence, contact my New City, New York, domestic violence law firm.

Mental Abuse, Physical, Abuse and Emotional Control

Domestic abuse is not just physical. Violent behavior at the hands of a spouse also includes name calling, demeaning remarks, and controlling behavior. Physical violence is more easily spotted, because of bumps and bruises. When children witness a domestic dispute, their lives can be shattered. Children have very small worlds, often consisting of parents, close relatives, teachers, and peers. When children see physical, verbal, or mental abuse, it has a devastating affect on their lives. If you are involved in an abusive and controlling relationship, your children are affected as well. I represent abused clients in divorce proceedings and ensure their children are protected from abuse as well.

Wrongly Accused of Spousal Abuse in New York

A false accusation of domestic abuse will impact your life. If the accusations occur during a divorce proceeding, important decisions will be made based on these accusations. If you have children, you may be denied custody and may only receive supervised visitation. Family and criminal courts do not take the matter of domestic abuse lightly. Neither do I.

I help the abused file orders for protection to ensure they are legally protected. I help the wrongly accused clear their names and reputations in family and criminal court. If you are interested in working with a family law attorney who will offer you straightforward and effective representation in a domestic abuse matter, contact my family law firm.
