Georgia Domestic Abuse Charge Lawyer
In the state of Georgia, if the police are called to respond to a domestic dispute, someone is going to jail. Police officers and the courts act in the best interests of society and that often means that a no-contact order or temporary restraining order will be put in place after a domestic violence arrest. Unfortunately, many of these penalties are heavy handed and punish innocent people who are now unable to see or speak to their family members.
If you have been arrested on a domestic violence charge and are worried about how a restraining order or bond condition will impact you and your family, talk with an attorney about your rights and what can be done to help your situation. At the Schiffer Firm, L.L.C., in Atlanta, I understand the stakes in these cases and put in a lot of hands-on work to help my clients. I will also advise you on what you can and cannot do while an order is in place.
Atlanta Domestic Violence Defense Attorney
When bond conditions and restraining orders are violated, that person may be charged with aggravated stalking. This is true even when those violations are inadvertent or when a person goes to his or her own house where other family members live.
In order to help clients, I will meet with judges and prosecutors - sometimes after hours - to explain the situation and defend the rights of those who have been arrested for domestic abuse charges or are unable to see their family members.
