Camden County Domestic Violence Law Firm

Camden NJ Domestic Violence Defense Attorneys

Domestic violence can be a complicated road to go down in Camden County. You can be the subject of a criminal charge for assault or some other form of domestic violence and also face a restraining order. This obviously is a process that can be extremely disruptive to your entire life. To make matters even worse, the law often takes an arrest now, and ask questions later approach when it comes to this issue. The result is a situation where a husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend can be hauled from their residence and family and precluded from returning or even communicating with their children. All firearms must also be seized as a preventative measure under New Jersey Law. Then there is the criminal charge that forms the basis for a restraining order which carries significant penalties on its own, even the possibility of a state prison term if the offense is an indictable criminal charge. Consequences as severe as these require representation by a skilled defense attorney.
