I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible representation and support provided by Cristine Beckwith. From the very beginning, her intelligence and deep understanding of the law shone through. She was thorough, strategic, and left no stone unturned in pursuing the best possible outcome for my case. Beyond her expertise, she demonstrated genuine empathy and was always communicative, keeping me informed and reassured at every step. Her commitment and determination were remarkable, and I truly believe we won because of her perseverance and dedication. I am so thankful for having her on my side and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled defense attorney. I cannot recommend her enough.

Tara was an amazing lawyer. She was very thorough and helpful throughout our whole situation. She was always available when we had questions and really put a lot of hard work into our case. I would definitely recommend her and if I ever need a lawyer I would definitely call again.

Mr. Siegel was recommended to me by someone else. It was the best recommendation I could have hoped for. What Mr. Siegel got done for me in the limited time before my court date was incredible. There's two types of lawyers out there; ones who care and ones who don't. There are no words to express the gratitude and thanks I have. Incredibly responsive, thorough, and knowledgeable. I will need help again in the future and Mr. Siegel will be who I turn to. Do not bother researching any other firms. This is the one.

I had no idea how to choose a divorce attorney so I just googled Seattle divorce lawyers and emailed four or five. I ended up choosing ZafiroLaw mostly due to thier first response. I zoom chatted with Katrina who answered questions regarding process. My attorneys name was Ambere and I was very happy with her professionalism and all hours email responses. She seems to work 24/7.She was very pleasant to interact with and made sure all questions were answered to satisfaction. My divorce was fairly uncontentious thankfully, but she really went to bat for my version of the parenting plan, whereas my wifes was impoverished. Hint: our parenting plan won. I am happy with the results of the divorce and glad it's over with.
Thanks Zaifiro, Ambere, and Ciera.

Years ago this man charged me and my mother 1000 dollars for a 10 minute consultation to tell us he needed 50,000 to take my mom as a client and told her to unbury the money she stole from the government . Even after we told him while my mother cried that she did not have this money that they were accusing her of Stealing in a white collar case . The lack of sympathy for my mom who is now deported haunts me And should haunt him good life niel Ruskin .

I am glad that I chose Frank to represent me in court. Frank and Jen were easy to work with and they provided exceptional legal expertise. Since they are local, they know the DA, judges, and police officers and work with them during your representation. They made me feel comfortable, were highly responsive to my emails and calls, and provided unwavering dedication to my case. I trust them and highly recommend Mr. Benvenuto!

Completely out of the blue unexpected embarrassing traumatic arrest in OCMD for charge(s) from a 'Karen-in-training' (my words) making a mountain of a molehill. Regardless, Ms. Furbay and Mr. Benvenuto were extremely helpful via phone and email despite me being several states away and my great apprehensiveness about everything. It took a lot of time and extra money but Mr. Benvenuto successfully got me PBJ unsupervised probation without basically nothing on my record going forward. Thank you!! :)

Ross Goodman is the real deal! I was wrongfully accused of a felony offense and was facing a minimum sentence of 10 years for a crime I didn’t even commit! I called up the Goodman Law Group and immediately knew I was in good hands!
Mr. Goodman is sharp, confident, and knows exactly what he’s doing! He was super easy to talk to and always made sure to break everything down so I could better understand it.
He kept me in the loop the whole time the case went on and when we went to court, I’m telling you this man owned the court room and got me the best possible outcome, a full dismissal!
If you’re in serious trouble, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, Mr. Goodman is the guy you want on your side! Anyone else would be mediocre at best compared to him! You’re the man Mr. Goodman!

I would recommend the public defender over this guy. Terrible communication, could never get ahold of him or his office. He was always late except for my last appearance which he didnt even show up to. The judge had to call me up with no lawyer and proceeded to tell me I could let my lawyer know that the case was closed. He even asked me what I thought my defense should be as if he's not the lawyer.

I paid him $5000. Once he received the money he was MIA more often than not. His receptionist gave one excuse after another and would tell me that I had exceeded "talk time" provided by the retainer although my records indicated otherwise. On the few occasions that I was able to speak with him he claimed he had Covid or RSV. I later heard this was one of his standard excuses.

I had the pleasure of working with Pacific Health Law Firm and I can honestly say that their team went above and beyond in handling my case. From the very first consultation, I was impressed with their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern for my situation. The attorneys took the time to thoroughly explain the legal process, keeping me informed every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication were evident, and I felt supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. They truly care about their clients and deliver results.

I had a very wonderful experience working with Attorney Justin. I was skeptical of working with a lawyer to get my speeding ticket dismissed because I wasn’t sure I would succeed or if it would be worth the cost but he worked with me on the price, and today my ticket was dismissed potentially saving me lots of money on insurance. He is also very accessible which is not common with lawyers so I absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend.

I was recently notified by the the State of New Jersey that my online license renewal was being blocked by an outstanding violation in Rhode Island. At the advice of my local NJ attorney, I contacted Joshua Macktaz, esq for local help in navigating a 35 year old traffic violation. Joshua had the knowledge and contacts within the RI DMV to get quick answers and a resolution within days. Joshua and his office were kind, quick and effective. I recommend them 120%. Thank you Joshua!

Superb communicator and got the best possible result for a speeding ticket. I didn't have to show up in court once! He answered all my questions and got all the discovery promptly, offered a reasonable retainer which I consider worth every penny. Having experience on the other side helps him understand the process fully and likely wins him points with the judge. I highly recommend Justin and his firm.

I can’t tell you how many lawyers I have contacted and how many consultations I paid. I went from big firms to lawyers here on Avvo with a lot of reviews, contacted some that were recommended. and in the end I landed on Kirstyn Palmisano.
Let me tell you, she was very responsive, attentive and answered all of my questions in such a caring and observant manner that I knew I wanted her and her team to represent me.
I have a high conflict divorce, but Kirstyn and her team walked me through all of the steps and helped me feel safe and taken care of. I feel very confident and reassured having Kirstyn and her team representing me, guiding me through the legal process and stayed focus on protecting the best interest for me and my child. Kirstyn is not afraid to stand by her clients and fight for you and for what is right. She is very sharp, and knows her stuff very well.
She also has a very skilled paralegal and I had the pleasure to also work with her other legal partner, and they are an amazing team!

I wanted to take the time in this 2025 year about my past experience with Albert Quirantes. From the beginning attorney Quirantes will listen and best help you understand the situation you are encountering.
Attorney Quirantes has a great team of paralegals and they stay on top of your case. This is a hard working attorney who tries to find any possible way of getting to the resolution and I am glad to be able to write a positive review because it is very well earned.
For those who are skeptical about this attorney, do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Quirantes has empathy, appreciation and respect for all that walk in to his office that seek help no matter your circumstances. This attorney is very respectful and actually charges a reasonable price for the effort he puts in to handle your case without breaking your wallet, which I find as a way he tries to give back in helping those who are not rich and do not have deep pockets. I appreciate the help he tries to give to those who work hard for pennies in hourly low wage jobs.
Attorney Quirantes has earned a positive review from me.

I got in a car wreck in summer of 2024, the individual who was responsible for totaling my car and causing injury was denying liability with their insurance.
I decided to look for a lawyer and Ryan and Sarah at Fang Law Firm did not disappoint. In fact, they went above and beyond helping me solve this case.
They recommended and sent me to PT for my injuries cause by the crash, kept me updated with everything during the court dates as well as handling talking with both my insurance the the other individual’s insurance company.
Ryan and Sarah went the other extra mile in tracking down witnesses from the accident who were able to help and ultimately get the case resolved through their testimonies.
I couldn’t have asked for better representation during such a stressful time.
Ryan and Sarah answered all my questions, and were professional and empathetic throughout the entire process.
I am so thankful for everything they’ve done!
10/10 recommend.

I was falsely accused of a serious crime. The police charged the wrong person in a self-defense incident. My life was in chaos, and I panicked to find an attorney. The day I called Krizman, I spoke to Wyatt. He spent significant time understanding my case – something law enforcement and other lawyersrefused to do. After ending the call, I knew he cared more than anyone I spoke to. He listened and learned what happened to me, allied with me, and I immediately knew Krizman Law was the firm I needed to represent me.
Throughout one of the toughest ordeals of my life, everyone at Krizman Law told me they were on “my team”. In a time when I felt like no one cared about me, Casey told me several times that “one way or another, all of this is going to go away”. At court appearances, he constantly told me to enjoy my life, encouraged me to go out on hikes, and to share pictures of my weekend with him. Even though my life was in crisis, the people at Krisman Law knew they could provide a result that would be in my best interest. They encouraged me to let them handle the burden of my charge.
Casey and his team collected evidence for the DA that created the true narrative about what happened that day. Along with an indisputable timeline of events, it became clear that I was defending myself. This destroyed the fake narrative of the actual suspect (who lied to keep himself out of trouble) and exposed the false narrative the Sheriff's Department created in their reports. Jacob, Wyatt, and Casey worked expeditiously to encourage the DA to review the new evidence before the arraignment hearing.
Because of the efforts and care of Krizman Law, the DA didn’t even put up a fight. He simply dismissed the case. I am convinced that, unlike other lawyers, Casey and his team were fully invested in their clients. They told me they were in the business of “crisis management” and treated me like my situation was more than just a criminal case. They understood what I was going through and would often call to check in on me. My life is back to where it was before the incident happened, and I will be forever grateful to Casey and his team.

My Research after My 2nd D.U.I, (along w/ Hit & Run & being Under the Influence of Narcotics & so-on), led Me to Arvand & Naderi Law Office.
At his office, I was well taken care of by Peggy, who walked Me throughout the Process & would always take My Calls w/any Questions I had.
Antionette was able to deal w/the D.M.V hearing & fought to save My License.

From the moment I realized I needed a lawyer, I did some research and found Arvand Naderi because of his outstanding reviews. Now, having worked with him, I feel compelled to write another glowing review for others seeking an exceptional criminal defense attorney.
I called his office, overwhelmed by the complexity of my situation. To my surprise, Arvand called me back quickly, ready to listen and take action. He immediately assessed my case, provided a clear explanation of the process, and gave me a realistic cost estimate. I instantly felt I could trust him.
Throughout the entire process, Arvand never let me down. He was consistently available to answer my questions, and his honesty and straightforwardness were incredibly reassuring. He never made empty promises—just clear, realistic expectations backed by confidence in his abilities.
Before my court date, I was nervous, but Arvand reassured me to trust the process and let him handle the legal work. When we arrived at the courthouse, I noticed how respected he is among other legal professionals. Someone even asked me if he was my lawyer and if he was good, and without hesitation, I said, “Yes—he’s the best.”
What impressed me most was his preparation. I saw him reviewing his notes, practicing his points, and ensuring every detail was covered before speaking with the opposing counsel. His presence commanded attention without needing to say much—just a calm, confident demeanor that clearly earned the court’s respect.
The outcome exceeded my expectations. I was granted 24 months of diversion with five days of community service, an eight-hour traffic school course, and some driving restrictions. If I complete these requirements, my case will be dismissed entirely. I was terrified of jail time, but thanks to Arvand’s dedication and legal expertise, I walked away with manageable conditions and an immense sense of relief.
What sets Arvand Naderi apart is not just his skill but his genuine care for his clients. After the hearing, he checked in with me, offered me his umbrella as it was raining, and even provided a referral for another legal matter I needed help with. His humility, professionalism, and passion for his work are evident in every interaction.
If you need a lawyer who is smart, compassionate, and relentlessly committed to getting the best outcome possible, Arvand Naderi is the person you want in your corner. I’m beyond grateful for his help and would recommend him to anyone facing a challenging legal situation.

Mekisha is truly an outstanding attorney. From the moment I met her, she was transparent and professional, giving me confidence during what could have been a very difficult process. She demonstrated incredible dedication and stayed present every step of the way, guiding me with care and expertise until my case was ultimately dismissed.
Her ability to combine intelligence, unwavering dedication, and a results-driven approach with genuine compassion and a strong human connection is unmatched. Mekisha made a challenging situation manageable and gave me peace of mind throughout. If you’re looking for the best attorney, look no further—she’s it!
I was also deeply impressed by her presence in the community. It’s clear that everyone around her respects and believes in her. Her presence is truly felt in any room, and it’s evident that people look up to her as a leader. Mekisha is not only an exceptional attorney but also an inspiring individual.

CliffsNotes Review: Hire this firm if you can!
Where does one even begin when trying to give thanks to a team that has helped during such an emotional, stressful, and difficult time? The lawyers and staff at The Law Offices of Lance Fryrear have been such a blessing. After the police were called and an arrest was made, it felt like my life was over. I felt so powerless during those initial days where the court process and legal battles seemed beyond hope. I am not sure how I would have made (and continue to be making it) through this legal process without Lance and his team. Everytime I called with a worry or concern, Rachel and Shannon would answer the phone, listen attentively and provide encouragement. They never made me feel like a burden or annoyance (even when I felt I was because of all the anxiety). Lance and Colleen worked to support me through a Civil PO that was filed in addition to my pre-charge criminal defense needs. Colleen went above and beyond, helping me reach out for my personal items, providing comfort and support, and always making me feel like a priority. Lance not only brought so much legal knowledge and experience (check out his Youtube), but his ability to understand the process and speak to the emotional side really was a game changer. Before agreeing to help with the Civil PO, he listened attentively to the situation. Lance and his team agreed to help me with the criminal defense matter, but only wanted to commit to helping with the Civil PO, if there was something they could actually do in my situation to help. His firm is not interested in saying “yes” to everything to get a paycheck. They actually care about YOU and YOUR SPECIFIC case. He felt based on my circumstances, that although filing a written response might not be wise in my case, there could be other avenues to explore, and thus agreed to help with that legal matter. If you work with Lance and his team, it is worth every penny. Make sure to listen to his advice! You, like me, will likely have to fight the urge to want things resolved yesterday. Fight the urge to want to act out of frustration from not having your side heard by the justice system. Fight the urge to think that your ideas and timing are right and that slow justice is not justice. Time is your friend in many of these cases. I worked to trust Lance and his team with this, groaning in my mind about the long lengths between court dates, but in the end he and his team were right. Time can change people and circumstances. The Civil PO was dismissed!
For my pre-charge criminal defense, my lawyer Elisabeth also worked tirelessly to support me by answering questions, reviewing documents, and helping me with ancillary issues related to my case. She always made time for me and I felt heard and cared for by her. This is a quality not all law firms have, but it ended up being so important to me, so do not overlook it if it is important to you.
It is so valuable to work with lawyers and staff who are empathetic and patient since a lot of the struggle is trusting that your team really cares about you and your case.

Couple of years ago, I went through a challenging divorce and had the opportunity to work with Carmiece T. Graves. From the initial consultation, I felt confident that I had made the right choice.
Carmiece T. Graves demonstrated exceptional knowledge and understanding of family law, offering clear and concise advice throughout the process. They were incredibly supportive, providing not only legal expertise but also showing empathy and patience as I navigated through this difficult time.
Communication was outstanding. She was always available to answer questions, whether it was through email or phone calls, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. The legal strategy she implemented was effective, keeping my best interests at heart.
I would highly recommend Carmiece T. Graves to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce lawyer. They made a challenging time much more manageable, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

I recently went through a year-long custody battle, and Attorney Tomlin along with her hard-working staff stood by me every single step of the way. When times were tough, Attorney Tomlin's words and actions stood as an anchor and reinforcement throughout the legal process. In the end, my case was resolved with a positive result for my family and self. I don't know if I could express in words enough gratitude for Attorney Tomlin from my family and self. I am happy that she has represented me now and will continue to do so in the future.

Lauren and Katy were both a pleasure to work with! They listened to how we wanted to deal with our divorce and did not pressure us in any way to do things differently. They professionally guided us through every step, providing rationale for what was needed.
They were always very prompt and responsive to our questions.
We would both absolutely highly recommended this office for anyone needing assistance with a divorce.

Alan and his team were the very best to work with. They responded back to me in a timely manner. He was very thorough at explaining every single step that was taken in my case and put me at ease.
I don’t live in FL and he was able to do everything for me, so I didn’t have to travel there at all. Alan was able to get my case completely wiped off my record with minimal actions on my part. I’m so grateful for Alan and his team and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer in this field.

I hired this firm for my son. I had consultations with other firms, but did not feel like it was a good fit. From the start, I knew that I was in the right place. There were no promises, and no sugar coating the situation. The only thing that I knew was that they would do everything they could for us. For the first time, I gave my worries to them. Every person that I encountered was professional, and each step in our situation was clearly communicated. I did not feel like I had to remind them, or question if they were doing all that they could. Kara is just wonderful.Matt is very good at what he does, and in my humble opinion, there is no better group of people I would want if I was in need of this type of service. Even though I am writing this from a mother's heart, Jeremy has the best team, and words cannot express how grateful I am for them. If you find yourself in need of legal counsel, they should be your first call.

I want to thank you for all the work you did on my behalf. The outcome on my offense wasn't anything short of amazing .Unfortunately I've had a few lawyers over the years because of multiple OUIL's and you were by far the best presentation I've could have hoped for .Every time I had a question or concern you answered my calls and walked me thru it .When the judge sentenced me to 5 days in jail after having multiple offenses I was shocked. Anyone who retains your services will be getting a great lawyer who will work hard on your case and get the possible outcome. Thanks again Joe Simon. Sincerely Ray K.

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.
How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:
- Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
- Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
- Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.
Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
