Laguna Hill California Domestic Violence Lawyer

Santa Ana, CA, Domestic Violence Attorney Donald P. Bebereia Spousal Abuse - Child Abuse Lawyer - Family Law

To most people, domestic violence involves physical abuse. Sadly this is often the case, but in many instances, domestic violence extends beyond just the physical abuse of a spouse, a partner, or a child. Ongoing, relentless emotional, mental, and verbal abuse can terrorize and demoralize a spouse or children almost as much a physical abuse. Confronting and putting an end to domestic violence requires the involvement of the police, counselors, and your attorney. Working together with authorities and trained professionals, the law office of Donald Bebereia exhaust every available legal means for moving victims of domestic violence out of their abusive situation.

If you have questions about what can be done to protect you and your children from an abusive situation, contact the law office of Donald Bebereia. I can immediately petition to court to institute a restraining order while guiding you to additional resources to help you transition out of your current situation to a safer, secure environment.

The First Steps

If you are involved in an abusive situation, the first thing to do is to place yourself in a safe environment. You may need help to do this. Emergency Protective Orders can be granted by your local police department and can last up to five days. After that, you will likely need a domestic violence attorney to help you to recover your life and safety.

There are several types of orders that can be used to prevent you from being further victimized. Included among them are:

• stay-away orders
• no-contact orders
• restraining orders
• property restraints
• residence exclusion orders
• personal conduct restraint orders

I have handled many cases involving domestic violence during my 28 years in Orange County. For my clients, this experience can be a great asset. Cases of domestic violence are very serious, and attention to detail can literally be a life or death matter. As an experienced domestic violence attorney, I can help you to recover your life.

If you are currently in an abusive situation, please contact me to discuss this serious matter. For further information on this topic, please see the Family Law information page.
