Bold labels are required.
We aggressively defend and assert your rights.
Some of our clients are victims of domestic violence and abuse. Others may find themselves facing accusations of abuse. Sometimes clients are unfairly accused. No matter which side of the table you’re on, we will defend and advocate for you.
Under current Ohio law, simply telling the police that you are afraid may well result in a charge of domestic abuse or a related offense. The person charged may not even be aware of committing a crime, and the police often don’t explain the exact nature of the charges before making an arrest. 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.
- We also believe that people charged with such offenses deserve an aggressive defense to protect their rights. Without aggressive defense, due process under the law is meaningless.
Have you been charged with a crime?
- Domestic abuse
- Violation of a protection order
- False arrest, false allegation
- Assault, violent crime defense
- Spouse abuse
- Child abuse
- Noncustodial parent kidnapping
- Stalking, harassment, emotional abuse
Do you need to resolve a child custody matter?
We know that domestic violence charges often stem from the emotional turmoil that results from divorce and child custody issues. We provide quality legal representation to defend or assert your rights in child custody, parenting time, and child support matters – all of which could be at stake in light of domestic violence allegations.
