Protecting Pennsylvania Victims of Domestic Violence
If you have been the victim of domestic violence, you may need the court's help to protect yourself and your family. One way to accomplish this is to file a protection from abuse (PFA) order, also known as a temporary restraining order. A lawyer can help you through this process.
Gentile, Horoho & Avalli, P.C., provides compassionate representation for people seeking protection from domestic violence and child abuse. We can help you file the PFA order, represent you at hearings and, if necessary, litigate the order. Speak with our attorneys today to find out how we may be able to help you.
Issues in Domestic Violence Cases
If you fear imminent bodily harm to yourself or your children, you have the right to seek protection. Filing a temporary PFA order can have the abuser excluded from the house and mandate that they have no contact with you for up to three years.
In many cases of domestic abuse, alcohol and drugs, anger issues and financial concerns play a role. We have represented thousands of people over the years, so we understand the difficulties your family may be experiencing.
There is no doubt that domestic abuse is a real concern. However, sometimes people involved in contentious divorce or child custody cases make false accusations of abuse to attempt to win a case. If you have been falsely accused, our lawyers can defend you against the charges.
