Domestic violence and allegations of domestic violence are sensitive issues that affect families throughout Michigan. If you are a victim of abuse, stalking or harassment — or if you need a defense attorney to defend against allegations of abuse, stalking or harassment — turn to the Fowlerville personal protection order attorneys at our law firm. We represent victims and alleged abusers, assessing each case on its own merits.
For more than 25 years, our Howell stalking law defense lawyers have protected the rights of our clients. At Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC, we vigorously strive to keep families safe and protect the rights of the accused.
Protect Your Rights
As Howell stalking law defense attorneys, we protect the rights of men and women who have been issued personal protection orders (PPOs). As we build a strong defense on behalf of our client, we will look at the past histories of the accuser and the alleged aggressor. We will look at what is going on in the relationship. Is the victim attempting to gain advantage in a divorce? Are the victim's Facebook updates consistent with the story he or she is telling law enforcement? Our lawyers recognize the huge role Facebook and other social networks play in many legal proceedings.
Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC, can develop a defense strategy that will protect your rights, freedoms, future and access to your children. A PPO can influence child custody and visitation determinations, limiting the time you spend with your kids. Our ultimate goal is to have the charges dismissed or reduced.
Charges can be brought and a PPO issued for jostling, locking the other party out of the house or slapping the other person. Women can be charged with domestic assault and issued PPOs.
Are You in Fear for Your Physical Safety?
If you have immediate concerns regarding your physical safety, do not hesitate to seek legal help. We can help you obtain a PPO, which will ensure the abuser does not have access to you or your children. Examples of threats to your safety can include:
- Harassment
- Workplace harassment
- Stalking
- Excessive communication
- Excessive phone calls
- Cyber stalking
- Excessive text messages
