Defending Clients Against Spousal Abuse Accusations
At the law firm of Russo & Pedranghelu, our attorneys are known for their experience, knowledge and dedication in the area of criminal defense. It is important to have this level of representation when facing a domestic violence charge; the stakes are high and the consequences — both criminal and civil — can be very serious.
Our Nassau County domestic violence lawyers include a retired family court judge, a member of the Nassau County Judiciary Committee and a former New York state Commissioner of Jurors. The background of these lawyers is just one reason that clients facing domestic violence charges choose our firm for their defense. Another reason is our reputation for thorough, creative and timely advocacy in fighting for the best possible outcomes for our clients.
Responding to Orders of Protection and Criminal Charges
If your spouse or another eligible person has accused you of committing domestic violence and petitioned for an order of protection, you only have a short period of time to challenge the order. If you do not do so, you may be removed from the family home, required to stay away from your accuser, and unable to contact your children.
Our experienced attorneys understand the importance of timely advocacy and will ensure that you have your hearing scheduled promptly and that you are effectively represented at that hearing.
In addition to contesting orders of protection, our attorneys are also experienced at appearing in New York's special domestic violence courts to defend clients against charges such as harassment, assault, spousal abuse and attempted murder. We determine the facts of each matter and develop strong cases in pursuit of acquittals, dismissals or reduced charges.
