Domestic violence is a form of abuse which involves people who know each other, such as partners, spouses, ex spouses, parents and children, or boyfriends and girlfriends. One definition of domestic violence is "intentionally or recklessly causing or attempting to cause bodily injury, or placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent, serious bodily injury to himself, herself or another." In many cases in which a person has been accused of or charged with domestic or spousal abuse, he or she is seen as guilty by the public based on the arrest, rather than the facts of the situation. Prosecutors will take the accusers statement and simply ignore other facts in the case. The only thing prosecutors are concerned with is making sure the accused pleads guilty. We handle cases in Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island.

Even an accusation of domestic violence must be taken seriously, as the negative consequences may affect the rest of your life, emotionally, financially, professionally, and in many other ways. An accusation of spousal or domestic abuse may also result in loss of work, child custody issues, a restraining order, and attack on your character. If you are found guilty of domestic or spousal abuse you will most likely be given a very severe punishment, possibly including:

Anger management programs
Probation
Felony charges
Jail time
Counseling
Monetary fines
Misdemeanor charges
Loss of Employment Loss of Child Custody
