New York City Violations of Orders of Protection Attorneys
Domestic violence, also known as domestic abuse or spousal abuse, occurs when one family member, spouse, partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate another.
New York takes allegations of domestic violence seriously. If police are called to the scene of a domestic dispute, it is highly likely that they will make an arrest.
The attorneys of Getz & Braverman, P.C., defend clients charged with domestic violence offenses, including:
- Assault
- Stalking
- Harassment
- Kidnapping
- Endangering the welfare of a child
- Violation of restraining orders
The Consequences of Conviction
Consequences of conviction for a domestic violence-related charge are severe, far-reaching and, in some respects, permanent. In addition to fines, incarceration, probation and court-ordered treatment for substance abuse or anger management, those convicted of domestic violence suffer additional consequences.
With a domestic violence conviction on your record, you will not be treated equally in family court decisions about child custody. You may find it difficult to obtain a job or a place to live. And you will be prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm for the rest of your life.
