Domestic Violence Incidences
of domestic violence are either on the rise throughout the country, or possibly, are simply being reported more frequently. New York is no
exception.
New York allows a
victim of domestic violence to be protected in both the criminal justice system
and in civil courts.Ultimately,
victims of domestic violence are entitled to be protected by the law, while
perpetrators may see the results of their action impact upon their time with
their children, or may even result in jail sentences.
If you are a victim of domestic violence, or if you have
been accused of committing an act of domestic violence, then you have the right
to have an attorney represent you. Contact us to schedule an appointment to discuss these issues and what we can do to help you.
