Domestic Violence
Legal actions under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act include temporary or permanent restraining orders and more.
More than 10 million people in the United States are physically abused by a spouse or partner each year, as reported in The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. That’s about 20 people every single minute of every single day. One in every three women and one in every four men have been victims of physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner. *

If you have been a victim of domestic violence, you are not alone, and there is hope. You can escape your abuser and go on to live a happy life.
Harris & McKeown Law Firm takes a firm stance against domestic violence and is committed to protecting our clients while prosecuting their abusers.
Our first order of business is your safety. We will help you with emergency shelter and orders of protection designed to keep you safe throughout the proceedings. As a victim of domestic abuse, you may have incurred medical bills, lost wages due to missed work, or even paid for legal counsel as a direct result of the abuse. Our goal is to ensure that abusers are held accountable by assisting you in recovering those damages.
A domestic violence lawyer can help you file for divorce from the perpetrator of the abuse, and if children are involved, your legal counsel can also fight for custody and visitation agreements designed to protect the children from harm. In some cases, you may even be entitled to ongoing spousal support, which is important for seeing you through this transitional phase of your life.
At Harris & McKeown Law Firm, we represent victims of domestic violence in court almost every day. We know exactly what to expect, and we know how to help you navigate the rocky and often emotional terrain. Remember that the law is on your side when it comes to such abuse.
