Two Sides To Every Case

Most domestic violence cases involve serious risk of harm and the need to get protection from the law. In a case like this, the goal is to secure your safety and your family are protected. Also, it is important to consider the history of domestic violence when making parenting and child support plans.

On the other hand, there are instances where one spouse will make a false claim of domestic violence in order to gain an advantage in the divorce proceedings. In this case, the most important thing is to protect your interests and reputation and make sure these false allegations don’t hinder your time with your children.

Regardless of which side you are on, WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE. Attorney Kaplan and our legal team can help you get the legal protection you need.
