Dedicated Massachusetts counselor handles all types of domestic violence charges
Domestic violence charges may be brought for an act or threatened act of violence upon someone with whom the accused had an intimate relationship.

- Actual or threatened physical harm
- Criminal harassment, such as threatening letters or phone calls

Knowledgeable lawyer asserts your rights and legal protections
When charges are filed against you, I can guide you through the steps to protect yourself and keep your situation from getting worse. My strategy is aimed to help you avoid the most serious consequences that can follow a domestic violence charge, which may include:
- Prison sentence
- Permanent restraining order
- Inability to return to your house
- Inability to see your children
- Difficulty finding or keeping a job
- Difficulty finding or keeping an apartment
- Mandatory enrollment in a domestic violence treatment program
