Domestic Violence
Being involved in a domestic violence case can cause extreme anxiety. There are usually other related issues that often give rise to domestic violence matters such as custody disputes, a divorce, or even a bad break-up. An ongoing strained relationship with a friend or family member can also open the door to a domestic violence occurrence. If you have been charged in a domestic violence case in DC, we are here to help.
We also handle civil Protection orders (CPO) in DC for both petitioners and respondents. It’s never a good idea to show up to a CPO trial without a lawyer. If your opponent has a lawyer, so should you! Even if your opponent does not have a lawyer, you have a greater advantage over your opponent when you are represented by counsel.
Civil protection orders cover three broad categories of individuals:
- Intimate Partner Violence– people who are currently or previously married, in a domestic partnership, or in a romantic, dating or sexual relationship;
- Intrafamily Violence– people who are related by blood, adoption, legal custody, marriage; domestic partnership, or people who share a child;
- Interpersonal Violence– people who share a mutual residence, or people who are presently and previously married, in a domestic partnership, separated, divorced, or presently and previously in a romantic, dating or sexual relationship.
To initiate a CPO there has to be an allegation that a crime was committed or threatened to be committed by an individual falling within one of these three categories. If a CPO is entered against you, it can have serious consequences on various areas of your life including immigration consequences and child custody issues. If you were served with a temporary protection order or if you are the petitioner seeking a protection order, contact us to ensure that you get the best possible outcome.
