Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Los Angeles TRO and Protective Order Lawyer

Domestic violence is an emotionally charged issue that gets the court's attention in a hurry. It is not uncommon for a party trying to gain the upper hand in a property settlement or child custody case to accuse the other party of assault, child abuse or emotional abuse. It's a gamble, but all too often, it works.

Assault ● Emotional Abuse ● Sexual Abuse ● Child Abuse

If you are in a relationship that involves domestic violence, make sure you get experienced legal help. Whether you are falsely accused of abuse, or you are trying to protect yourself with an order of protection or temporary restraining order (TRO), the legal representation you get can be the difference in the outcome of your case. In some situations I can also help clients file domestic torts against their abusive partners in order to recover additional financial compensation.

Obtaining a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO)

Contact me to schedule a no cost consultation to discuss your domestic violence case and your need for a TRO. A restraining order can help you:

  • Force your spouse or partner out of the house
  • Establish evidence of abuse for a domestic tort claim
  • Prevent the abuser from having contact with your children
  • Protect your individual and community property rights

If You Have Been Wrongfully Accused

As a domestic law attorney, I have seen the worst of what domestic violence and assault can do to a relationship. As non-marital domestic relationships dissolve, financial holdings and property often become a key issue leading to false claims of abuse and unnecessary TROs. In California civil courts, an accusation of domestic abuse will often result in a punitive decision regarding the distribution of assets. I will help you protect your financial success from false and unfair accusations.
