Experienced Domestic Violence Defense in New Jersey
New Jersey takes domestic violence charges very seriously. Unlike some criminal charges, these charges can't be dropped. In fact, when a spousal abuse victim tries to drop domestic violence charges, he or she may be held in contempt of court.
If you've been stuck with a restraining order, it may be that the best you can do is just "wait it out." Sooner or later, cooler heads will prevail. And if you violate the order, you could end up much worse off than you are now.
If you've been charged with domestic violence, you should consider your next steps very carefully. An experienced attorney can help you keep from making a drastic mistake. Call 800-604-8039 or contact us online for an appointment.
How To Respond to Charges of Domestic Violence
At Flynn & Associates, P.C., in New Jersey, we handle each domestic violence case differently depending on each individual's specific circumstances. How severe was the violence? Was it a shouting match or was there physical violence? Did anyone use a dangerous weapon?
In many cases, our clients can gain an advantage by filing countercharges: that is, filing a restraining order against the person who's filed one against you. This is a particularly wise move in cases involving divorce, because these charges can tip the balance in a property dispute.
Reorganize Your Life
If you have been living with the person filing charges against you, obviously you'll have to move out. If you have children, you will have a hard time being able to see them. Where will you go? What will you do?
At Flynn & Associates, P.C., our lawyers help clients consider all their options for putting their lives back in order. And if necessary, we can connect them with community resources to help keep them out of the streets at night.
