Domestic Violence Legal Services

We Fight for Court-Ordered Relief and Protection

Domestic violence is a crime that requires quick legal intervention from criminal and civil courts. If you're a victim, seeking legal help early can help you live a life free from physical and emotional abuse. The experienced attorneys at Griffith Law Center are here to help you receive the legal relief and protection you need.

We can help you obtain a protective order which is similar to a restraining order. A protective order instructs your abuser to stay out of your home and away from you and your family and can also include orders to pay child support and medical support.

We also provide legal assistance for individuals falsely accused of domestic violence. We have seen both sides and will fight for your rights. Call today to discuss your domestic violence case with our experienced legal team.
