If you or someone you care about is living in a dangerous home environment because of an abusive spouse, you should waste no time and speak with a knowledgeable Glen Burnie family lawyer. Your safety and the well-being of your children could very well depend on you taking the brave step of getting out of the critical situation you've been stuck in.
Many times when there is abuse in a home, the abuser controls the property and income of the family, which can lead a victim to feel helpless. You have rights and I am dedicated to helping you keep them protected. I am passionate about this area of law because no one should have to endure pain and suffering in their home.
In Maryland, a restraining order is also known as a protective order or a peace order. A petition for protection from domestic violence can be filed in any District Court or Circuit Court. I can help with the appropriate documents to get them quickly filed since matters of this nature can be highly time sensitive.
If you have been served with an order of protection from your spouse or partner, it is equally important to have effective representation, especially if you are going through a divorce. Complaints of domestic violence can weigh heavily on divorce proceedings and negatively impact the outcome of child custody and visitation agreements that must be made. Whether you are looking to file or defend yourself in matters relating to restraining orders or domestic violence, I am prepared to defend and protect your legal rights and aim to achieve the best outcome possible.
