Domestic Violence, Assault And Battery And Harassment
A conviction for domestic violence can have serious, immediate and lasting legal consequences. If you face domestic violence or abuse charges, a conviction can ultimately result in:
- Jail time
- Fines
- The loss of your right to enter your home (while remaining responsible for rent or mortgage payments)
- Community service
- Temporary support obligations
- Mandatory counseling
If you have been accused of domestic violence or domestic assault, battery, abuse or harassment, and face a possible restraining order/order for protection/temporary restraining order, the Basking Ridge law firm of D’Alessandro & D’Alessandro, LLC, can provide experienced legal help.
In northern and central New Jersey, individuals facing domestic violence charges must fight temporary restraining orders on the county level and criminal charges on the municipal level.
Our attorneys can fully investigate your claim and provide an aggressive, knowledgeable and diligent defense, which can include:
- Meeting with you and preparing you for your hearing
- Interviewing witnesses
- Seeking all information regarding the case from the police department
- Filing a counterclaim or cross-complaint, which may result in a temporary restraining order against the accuser
