Domestic Violence

 

Davenport Tomko & Butler, LLC have successfully represented victims of domestic violence. We work efficiently and effectively to help our clients prepare all of the necessary paperwork with the courts to obtain orders of protection, for both adults and children. We coordinate with the local women’s shelter as well as all other necessary channels to ensure that the situation is resolved without undue stress to our clients. Examples of domestic violence abuse include:

 

• Threats

• Intimidation

• Stalking (such as following the victim to and from places and threatening the victim)

• Physical assault or abuse (hitting, slapping, pushing, shoving or kicking)

• Verbal, social and sexual abuse

 

Domestic violence cases are treated differently than criminal cases and can in fact be a very stressful time on the client, obtaining professional and proven successful counsel is a must. Domestic violence cases can cover a wide range of abuse, including spousal and child endangerment. Domestic violence is not just physical, but can be verbal and emotional as well. Any threat of violence towards another, whether the accused intended harm or not, could be grounds for an order of protection.

The attorneys at Davenport Tomko & Butler work closely with advocates from the Robertson Center to ensure that their clients feel safe in their homes as well as on the day of court. They are committed to providing their clients with the highest quality of legal representation in this difficult and stressful time.
