CHILD ABUSE/ ABUSE/ DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
We have two attorneys who are each certified by the Supreme Court of NJ as a criminal trial attorney. Call us for our extraordinary level of experience and recognized expertise!
Child Abuse/Abuse
The law defines child abuse as follows:
- Any type of neglect of a child
- Too severe a punishment
- Failure to properly supervise
Abuse can also be the neglect of an elderly or disabled person. Even a small lapse in judgment can result in an abuse, neglect, or endangerment charge.
Domestic Violence
The law defines domestic violence as any crime committed against a family member or someone whom one regularly dates or has a significant relationship with. A fight or argument between you and your loved one can lead to serious charges. Sometimes, false charges are filed because someone wants you out of the house or wants an advantage in a divorce case.
Consequences of Child Abuse/Abuse/ Domestic Violence
Domestic violence matters have serious consequences to the personal and professional lives of those who are found guilty of what the law has characterized as "a serious crime against society", including the following:
- Restraining orders
- Getting kicked out of your home
- Job loss
- Not being able to see your children
- Jail or prison time
If you are charged with child abuse or domestic violence, you may lose the ability, before your trial, to go home or to see your children; therefore, it is very important to have an attorney protect your rights.
We Can Help
Our firm is committed to distinguishing trivial matters, which the domestic violence laws are not designed to address, from serious abusive behavior. Domestic cases often work their way through the family court in a matter of days. Given the serious consequences, they require lawyers with the experience and expertise to present the important aspects of a domestic violence situation to a court in a limited time frame. We have lawyers available on an emergency basis to effectively handle such matters. Our team has over 120 years of experience, and we will fight to reunite you with your family.
