Philadelphia Domestic Violence Attorney ◦ Restraining Order
Pennsylvanians confronting an abusive spouse — or facing domestic abuse charges — in the area of Philadelphia, Norristown, Doylestown and beyond are encouraged to call or e-mail domestic violence lawyer George M. Sere for experienced legal counsel and representation.
Know your legal rights after you have been targeted in a Pennsylvania restraining order because of alleged domestic abuse.
Alternatively, learn how to obtain a PFA order (protection from abuse order) if your spouse or domestic partner is threatening you or your children.
Attorney Sere defends spouses and domestic partners accused of hitting and abusing their significant others. He also offers advice and assistance to someone who is being victimized by physical or verbal abuse from a boyfriend, girlfriend, same-sex partner, husband or wife.
A domestic abuse victim may file a protection from abuse (PFA) order to compel the alleged abuser to leave the home and refrain from further contact for up to 18 months. Even if the house is owned or rented in the name of the alleged abuser, the PFA allows the alleged victim to remain in the home. Learn how to file a PFA against your partner who harmed you or threatened harm — or how to fight a PFA that is under false pretenses.
Because a PFA can affect the possession of a jointly occupied residence as well as the custody and support of minor children, it is highly recommended that both the alleged victim and the alleged perpetrator have legal representation at any PFA proceeding.
As a criminal attorney with 30 years' experience, Mr. Sere knows how important it is to support allegations or defense arguments with as much concrete evidence as possible. Entrust your domestic violence issue to an advocate you can trust. Contact attorney George M. Sere when domestic violence or domestic violence charges threaten your family's peace of mind.
