Domestic violence is when someone works to gain and maintain power and control over a person they are in an intimate relationship with. This expresses itself in several common ways, including:
Domestic violence is treated very seriously in Michigan, with severe consequences for those convicted of it, including restraining orders, jail time, and suffocating fines.
If you’re involved in a domestic violence case, regardless of exactly how, seek professional legal help as soon as you can or is reasonable. The legal system can be confusing and intimidating, especially if you don’t have any prior experience with it. In emotionally charged cases like domestic violence, the stakes are even higher. A lawyer can ensure your rights are protected and provide you with guidance as your case unfolds. Here are a couple of other key things to do in the meantime:
Keep records of all incidents you experience. Note the date, time, and other important details. Try to take pictures. Save any text messages or emails surrounding the incident, too. This evidence will be invaluable later on when to build a strong case.
If you are in immediate danger, contact law enforcement and get a personal protection order. This order will restrict your abuser from being able to maintain contact with you.
A domestic violence lawyer can help you get a personal protection order if, for some reason, you’re unable to do it yourself. This is just the beginning of how they can help you, though. They’ll go on to vigorously defend your rights throughout the entire process, examining every detail relevant to the case, challenging evidence, and ensuring you receive a fair trial, should your case rise to that level.
Additionally, should your case intersect with other areas of the law as so many others do, a lawyer will help navigate these other dimensions of your case. Common points of intersection include:
Mark has the experience needed to successfully steer you through all of these concerns and obtain the best outcome possible.
