Nassau County Order of Protection Defense Attorney
Nowadays, when it comes to a domestic violence charge, courts play it "better safe than sorry." There have been several high-profile cases of domestic abuse, in which someone battered or actually killed his or her spouse or partner - after the victim asked for but was not granted an order of protection.
In these cases, the importance of granting orders of protection is clear. But the tendency of judges to grant such orders in any given case means that they now routinely grant them based on hearsay, false accusations and circumstantial evidence.
It's obvious that judges do not want to be on the news explaining why they didn't grant an order of protection to the person who was killed (in the worst cases). But that's also why it is extremely important to hire an order of protection defense attorney when you've been falsely accused of domestic violence.
What Is Order of Protection Defense?
If you're facing a false accusation of domestic abuse, the consequences can be severe. Not only is the judge relatively likely to grant the order of protection against you - if you do nothing to defend yourself - but you will put your rights in any future or current divorce and child custody case in jeopardy.
An order of protection defense attorney will:
- Find the witnesses you need
- Conduct the background fact-checking and legwork
- Effectively put your case in front of the judge
A false accusation can impact your job, where you live, and the outcome in divorce, child custody and property division matters. Do all you can to defend yourself.
