Prompt Help With Domestic Violence Issues

Domestic violence charges can be brought by any adult who has been subjected to violence by a spouse, partner, significant other or any member of their household. These charges can come about due to threats, harassment or physical assault. If you believe you are a victim of domestic violence or if you are being accused of domestic violence, the Essex County, New Jersey, domestic violence attorneys at Minion & Sherman are here to help you through this challenging time.

Providing Effective Legal Representation

There is a two-step process that domestic violence victims must follow if they would like to seek protection: obtaining a temporary restraining order and then attending a full domestic violence hearing. For individuals accused of assault or any other type of domestic violence, you have one shot at protecting yourself during the full hearing:

  • Temporary restraining orders: If you are the victim of domestic violence, take immediate steps to protect yourself and your children. You can call the police or go down to your local courthouse to request a temporary restraining order. Once you have this in place, the court will schedule a full hearing within approximately 10 days.
  • Domestic violence hearings: We represent men and women in domestic violence hearings.
