Representing Accusers and the Accused in Spousal Abuse Cases
If you have been abused by your spouse or partner, a protective order can be a powerful tool when it comes to stopping the violence in your home. If you have been accused of domestic violence, you could be facing serious consequences and should contact an experienced lawyer.
At the law firm of Trainor, Billman, Bennett & Milko LLP, our Annapolis domestic violence lawyers help women and men pursue and defend against Maryland protective orders. We are prepared to advise you on your options and diligently protect your rights and personal safety.
Understanding the Consequences of Domestic Abuse Allegations
The domestic violence law is one of the most necessary and yet most abused statutes in Maryland. Some people have a true need for protection from terrible abuse. Others misuse the law in order to force their spouses out of the home and gain an advantage in divorce cases.
If you are considering making a domestic violence accusation or have been served with a protective order, we strongly encourage you to talk to an attorney as soon as possible.
Alleged perpetrators of domestic violence may lose custody of their children, and they may be required to pay emergency family maintenance, including spousal and child support. They may also face criminal charges and lose their security clearance and right to possess firearms.
All of these elements of the law play an important role in protecting the victims of domestic violence, but they also mean that domestic violence allegations must be taken extremely seriously. Our attorneys are experienced at representing parties on both sides of this issue.
