Domestic Violence Lawyer

Morris County, NJ Domestic Violence Defense Attorney

Spousal Assault and Battery Lawyer Near Me

If the police get called to an individual’s home for domestic violence, the chances are high that someone may be arrested. Police officers are required to arrest the alleged abuser if the accuser shows signs of injury, and can bring people to jail even if there is no sign of harm based solely on the allegation of the alleged victim. After the arrest, a restraining order is usually issued, preventing contact with the alleged victim and often resulting in displacement from your home and apartment and financial distress.

At The Tierney Law Group, LLC, we have an extensive understanding of the domestic violence laws in New Jersey and New York. Attorney John Tierney is a former New York prosecutor, giving him a unique knowledge of the strategies the other side will attempt to bring against you.
