Defending Against Charges of Abuse
If someone has been abused or threatened with violence, the state of Arizona allows the victim to seek an Order of Protection to prevent further harm. Domestic violence is a serious offense and the abuser should face consequences for his or her violent acts. In certain cases, however, individuals make false allegations in order to secure an advantage in a custody or divorce-related dispute. If you have had an Order of Protection filed against you and feel you have been falsely accused of abuse, you have the right to defend against these charges.
I am Phoenix attorney Kenneth A. Winsberg, and I have represented many clients who faced the harsh reality of domestic violence or unfounded allegations of violence. An Order of Protection may be appropriate to protect you. It can also be very destructive as it can affect your reputation. It can also jeopardize the relationship you have with you children. It is a very serious matter, whether you want one or are served with one. With more than 40 years of experience helping families throughout Maricopa County resolve complex disputes, I have the resources to help you defend your reputation and interests.
You Have a Right to a Hearing
If you have been accused of domestic violence and served with an Order of Protection, you have the right to a hearing where evidence and arguments can be presented. With extensive experience in handling these cases, I am familiar with the legal proceedings. By presenting your side of the story, I will represent your case in court and work to overturn an inappropriate Order of Protection that was based on false allegations, or strive to keep in place orders that are needed. I can help you with the serious issues Orders of Protection stir up.
If you have been issued an order of protection and are facing domestic violence charges, schedule an appointment with an experienced family lawyer by calling 602-248-0274, extension 24 or 10. You can also contact me by e-mail.
