Georgia Domestic Abuse Attorneys
The law in the state of Georgia provides help and protection for people who have been victimized — or who have had their children victimized — by domestic violence. It also protects those who have been falsely accused of committing an act of domestic violence. In both cases, it is important that people take advantage of their rights under the law, and take the necessary steps to protect those rights with an experienced lawyer.
At the law firm of Baskin & Baskin, P.C., our firm represents both victims of domestic violence and those falsely accused throughout the Atlanta metro area. We want our clients to know what options they have and that people have legal protections that can help. No one deserves to have to deal with abuse or face the consequences that can come along with false accusations. We fight hard for our clients.
Marietta Domestic Violence Attorneys
A temporary protective order, which is a six-month order than can be extended for 12 months and made permanent following that period, is a court order that can provide protection for threats, harassment and abuse. The protection order requires that an abuser stays away from you, your home and your work and prohibits him or her from contacting you in any way.
The court can also order the abuser to stay away from your children — if the court feels that they are at risk. It is also possible to get a permanent protective order, in some cases.
While all cases of domestic violence deserve to be treated seriously, false allegations take advantage of the system. These allegations not only harm the accused individual, they also take resources away from the court that could be better used in real cases of domestic violence. Unfortunately, people still use these allegations as a way to gain an edge in divorce and custody proceedings. We stand by our clients in hearings to make sure that the truth is upheld.
