In some cases, both spouses are arrested, and the facts sorted out later.

Domestic abuse allegations may have a profound impact on your future.

In addition to our focus in family law, a significant part of our law practice is criminal defense. Often, domestic violence charges involve both areas of law. We know that domestic violence is a serious criminal and social issue.

We believe in being strong advocates of helping victims of domestic violence and abuse.
