Domestic Violence Defense Attorneys

Domestic Violence Attorneys in Camden, Burlington, Gloucester & Other Counties 

Domestic violence matters are some of the most serious in New Jersey. The state generally takes a better safe than sorry approach, where an alleged victim’s accusation can result in a near-immediate temporary restraining order. This temporary restraining order can be replaced with a permanent restraining order if the court believes this is necessary after hearing the case. If you have been accused of domestic violence in the state of New Jersey, it is critical that you retain the services of an experienced legal team that can help you protect your future. A domestic violence conviction can come with serious consequences that extend past jail time into many other facets of your life. If you need an experienced attorney to help you represent your interests, contact Thomas DeMarco & Associates, LLC today to discuss your situation.

  • New Jersey's Prevention of Domestic Violence Act

    The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991 was enacted in New Jersey with the intention of providing better protections for victims of domestic violence. This act provides victims with two options for relief from their abuser. Civil relief typically results in a Temporary Restraining Order while criminal relief results in pressing criminal charges against the abuser. A domestic relationship can involve any of the following:

    • Married parties
    • Separated parties
    • Divorced parties
    • Those who live together
    • Those who date
    • Those who share a child or children

    Acts of domestic violence can involve the following offenses:

    • Simple assault
    • Terroristic threats
    • Harassment
    • Sexual assault
    • Stalking
    • Homicide

  • What are the Consequences of a Domestic Violence Charge?

    The first step in any domestic violence matter is typically to issue a temporary restraining order. A TRO protects the victim from having the accused abuser in their home, at their jobs, or contacting them or their family. The court will make a decision quickly as to whether the temporary restraining order needs to become permanent. These issues must be dealt with in court. If you have a TRO issued against you as the accused, it is critical that you do not violate this order. If you do, you are at risk of facing additional criminal charges. If convicted, you could face significant jail time and a criminal record.

  • False Accusations of Domestic Violence

If you believe you have been falsely accused of domestic violence, it is important that you retain the services of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can effectively clear your name and protect your future.
