New York’s Definition Of Domestic Abuse
New York law defines domestic abuse within the context of specific relationships, including those between family members, spouses, siblings, household members, and current or former romantic partners. The types of charges can include:
- Harassment
- Menacing
- Stalking
- Assault and battery
- Strangulation
- And other violent offenses
The term “domestic” underscores the personal nature of these disputes, which can lead to complex and emotionally charged situations.
Don’t Ignore The Far-Reaching Consequences Of Domestic Violence Allegations
The repercussions of a domestic violence conviction extend beyond legal penalties such as fines and imprisonment. They can affect child custody situations, result in the loss of gun rights, and bring about additional personal and professional challenges. Now is not the time to skimp on legal representation.
Addressing False Accusations And Restraining Orders
In the heat of a domestic dispute, police often must make quick decisions, which can lead to a hasty arrest without a full understanding of the situation. Attorney James Egan is committed to ensuring that your side of the story is heard.
In addition to criminal charges, you may also be facing a restraining order – called a protective order in New York. These are separate proceedings from the criminal charges. A protective order issued against you can have significant ramifications. It can limit your living arrangements, your ability to show up in certain places and even your access to your children.
Attorney Egan is highly skilled at defending against protective orders and mitigating their impact.
