Why Choose Our Firm?

Experience, dedication, and results that speak for themselves

CIVIL COURT

If a civil judge enters a protection from abuse order against you, you may be removed from your home and/or forbidden from seeing your children and/or spouse. A protection from abuse order is not however, limited to children and spouses. A judge can issue an order at the request of a family member, household member, intimate partner, or person with whom you have a child. Pennsylvania’s Protection from Abuse Act specifies that domestic abuse does not necessarily have to have a physical component. If the person alleges and proves that they were put in fear of bodily injury, an order may be issued.

CRIMINAL COURT

In some instances of alleged domestic abuse, individuals are charged with criminal harassment and/or assault. Depending on the allegations, you could be facing a summary offense, misdemeanor, or felony charge.
