Experienced Attorney Protection in Domestic Violence Matters
Legal Help in Domestic Violence Cases in Rochester and Upstate New York
People should not have to be afraid in their own home. For victims of domestic violence, having a place to turn for help and protection is not only important, it can also help protect you and your children from further abuse. At the law firm of Romeo & Schmitt P.C., we represent victims of domestic violence, helping them obtain orders of protection and other legal help in domestic violence cases.
New York state takes seriously charges of domestic violence and has measures in place to protect the victims of violence from feeling threatened. A temporary order of protection can help you if you have been threatened or assaulted or if you fear for the safety of yourself or your children. This order requires that the abuser be removed from the home and be prevented from contacting you or your children.
Permanent Orders of Protection
After getting the temporary order of protection, a formal hearing will determine the resulting consequences of the order and the future rights of the abuser. Our lawyers will represent you at the trial and present evidence to request a permanent order of protection. New York courts will readily grant temporary orders of protection when needed. Permanent orders, however, are granted less frequently, because they require substantial evidence.
Our firm will help you get a permanent order of protection. If you or your family is in danger or feels threatened, you cannot afford to hire an attorney who lacks the experience and the legal knowledge to help protect your rights.
Contact our firm today and get the protection you need in cases of domestic violence.
