Domestic Violence

in Georgia

Domestic Violence, also known as domestic abuse, spousal abuse, child abuse or intimate partner violence, can be broadly defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in a relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or cohabitation.
Domestic Violence has many forms including physical aggression such as:
  • Hitting
  • Kicking
  • Biting
  • Shoving
  • Restraining
  • Throwing Objects
Or behavior such as:
  • Sexual Abuse
  • Emotional Abuse
  • Controlling or Domineering
  • Intimidation
  • Stalking
  • Neglect
Accusations of this type are extremely serious and can lead to jail, heavy fines and restricted contact with your loved ones, having a disastrous effect on you and your family. The right lawyer can make all the difference in your domestic violence case. Witnesses are very important to the state’s case and there are specific rules that prosecutors need to follow in order to bring witnesses to court. Often, prosecutors do not comply with these rules, and a knowledgeable lawyer can use this lapse in the procedure to get your case dismissed.
At Corales Law, LLC, we strive to not only defend you against the charges you face, but we also provide you with personal assistance that many law firms do not concern themselves with. We will help you find counseling, anger management classes and domestic violence programs that will not only be beneficial to your well-being, but will also help in reducing sentencing.

 

Protective Orders
Having a protective order placed on you can cause serious hardship. It can restrict your mobility, restrict access to your children, deprive you of property and cause financial burdens. It is very important to contact an attorney as soon as you are served with a protective order. Not showing up for your hearing or not being adequately represented will cause the order to be enforceable for a full year. Corales Law, LLC is experienced in handling all domestic violence matters, including protective orders, and will do everything possible to prevent an order from becoming permanent.
