7 attorneys in Scottsdale work on domestic violence matters — obtaining and enforcing protective orders, and defending people accused of domestic assault, harassment or violating an existing order.
These cases move quickly and rarely stay in one court. A criminal charge and a family case often run at the same time, and a protective order can change where someone lives, who has the children and whether they may possess a firearm.
Ask which side of these matters the attorney usually handles, and how the case will interact with custody. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services first.
