Domestic Violence and Protection Orders
Another major area of our criminal defense practice includes defending people charged with domestic violence. You may face a protection order in a domestic violence case. A restraining order may also prevent you from contacting your spouse, children, or going to your home. If you violate a restraining or protection order, you will face additional criminal charges. We defend people facing accusations of sexual abuse and domestic violence in divorce and custody battles.

Our criminal defense attorneys also counsel people about the expungement process. We help people remove past convictions from their record that hinders their employment, housing, and lifestyle opportunities.
