What is Domestic Violence?

In New Jersey, domestic violence is a serious offense and generally refers to abuse within a household. Domestic violence can include, but is not limited to: physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, threats, or bullying.

I have a Temporary Restraining Order against me, what does this mean?

A temporary restraining order is given upon an accusation of domestic violence. Later, a hearing will be held to determine whether a permanent restraining order is appropriate.

Our lawyers will appear in court to oppose a permanent restraining order on your behalf. Skilled domestic violence defense attorneys are key to a successful case because a permanent restraining order may prevent you from speaking to your spouse or domestic partner and limit your access to your children.

What are the Penalties for Domestic Violence in New Jersey?

The penalties can be serious for a person who commits an act of domestic violence. Persons found guilty of domestic violence crimes can face penalties that include heavy fines and permanent restraining orders. A violation of a domestic violence restraining order can result in an 18 month prison sentence and probation.
