The State of New York takes domestic violence charges very seriously, and you should, too. An order of protection can have a serious impact on your life. It can affect child visitation, custody and even prevent you from going back to your own home. In addition, an angry spouse can use an order of protection as a sword, rather than a shield, and this could put you in a very dangerous position.

Domestic violence and spousal abuse are often a result of factors including substance abuse, work-related stress or a history of abuse. When possible, we seek alternatives that could include:
- Anger management courses
- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
- Substance abuse counseling
- Mental health counseling
- Marital counseling
In addition to contesting orders of protection, we defend clients against charges that include harassment, aggravated harassment, stalking, menacing, attempted assault, assault, spousal abuse and attempted murder. We will investigate the facts of the matter and develop a strong case in pursuit of an acquittal, dismissal or reduced charges. We focus on helping those who have been charged with domestic violence by working to give them a fresh start. We find that oftentimes, the accused party was not the aggressor, only the victim of an angry partner who decided to call the police. We pay careful attention to the facts and discuss every possible defense and alternative with our clients. We are non-judgmental and are here to advise you and help you get through this difficult time.
