DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 

Domestic violence is violence or other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such as in marriage or cohabitation.

Have you been accused of domestic violence? This type of false allegation is a serious matter, one that can tarnish your reputation and have long-lasting effects on your future. If your spouse or partner has accused you of domestic violence, you must secure legal representation from our skilled Maryland domestic violence lawyers as soon as possible.

If an individual feels threatened by you after an incident of domestic battery, they can file an emergency protective order which will restrict you from coming within a certain distance of the other person. Emergency protective orders can later be updated as restraining orders which have a longer lasting time frame. If you have been served a restraining order and can no longer see your children after an incident of domestic violence. Even if no violence occurs, there is still a danger you could be faced with harassment charges. Harassment is any repetitive behavior or act that could annoy, threaten or disturb someone.
