What Counts as a Domestic Violence Charge in New York
- Assault involving a spouse, partner, family member, or roommate
- Threats or harassment by phone, text, or in person
- Criminal mischief (damaging property)
- Endangering the welfare of a child
- Stalking or unlawful surveillance
- Violating an order of protection
- Coercion or emotional abuse claims
- Strangulation or obstruction of breathing
Even if the alleged victim doesn’t want to press charges, the case may still move forward. New York prosecutors take these cases seriously—and so do we.
Understanding Protective Orders
Many domestic violence charges involve an order of protection. These orders can restrict where you live, who you speak to, and whether you can see your own children.
We help clients:
- Fight the issuance of a protective order
- Modify or challenge existing restrictions
- Avoid accidental violations that lead to more charges
We know these cases often involve high emotions, complex relationships, and sensitive family dynamics. Our goal is not just to defend your record—but to help protect your future.
Imagine This
A heated argument with your partner leads to a neighbor calling the police. No one was injured, but you're arrested and charged with domestic assault. An order of protection is issued, and now you can’t return home. We can help people in situations like these—and we’re here to help you navigate it with clarity and strength.
