Working to Stop Domestic Violence in New York
The first step our New York domestic violence lawyers can take is to file a restraining order or order of protection against the abuser, if one is not already in place. This way, the abuser must stay away from the victim as well as his or her home, place of employment and possibly other areas as well. Then, depending on your circumstances, our attorneys can help put the victim in touch with social services and domestic violence support services. At the Law Offices of Brian D. Perskin we fight hard to put our clients’ abusers behind bars so they do not have to live in fear any longer.
