Riverside Domestic Violence Lawyer
Need a restraining order?
No one deserves to be abused, harassed, threatened, or assaulted, but unfortunately domestic violence continues to plague countless households throughout the area. An even sadder reality is that the majority of domestic violence victims never speak up about the abuse. There are a number of reasons why victims choose to stay quiet about the injustice committed against them. Some feel it would make the situation worse, while others believe that whatever caused the abuser to get upset was their fault. Various statutes exist to protect victims of domestic violence. If you are being abused by a family member, you can get help with your situation by contacting a dedicated and compassionate Riverside divorce attorney at Hanson, Gorian & Bradford. We can put an end to the abuse and harassment you are experiencing by petitioning for a restraining order that will prevent your abuser from having any further contact with you.
