Suffolk County/ Nassau County Long Island Domestic Violence Attorney
New York Domestic Violence Lawyer
Domestic Violence is a general term used to describe many different charges when the complaint is made by someone with whom you have a close relationship. The person can be a spouse, a person with whom you have a child or even a girlfriend or boyfriend if you live together. Examples of Domestic Violence charges are Assault, Aggravated Harassment, Violation of an Order of Protection (Contempt) and Menacing. Domestic Violence cases are treated very seriously by the courts. All Long Island counties, Suffolk, Nassau and Queens, have set up special courts to deal with these cases. In many cases, the court will issue an Order of Protection which force the accused to move out of their own house. A Domestic Violence conviction can result in a sentence of probation or jail and you may be forced to attend many months of costly counseling. In order to avoid these serious consequences, you will need an experienced Long Island Domestic Violence Lawyer.
