I am Robert Dapelo, a Long Island lawyer handling orders of protection. I will apply more than 30 years of litigation experience to aggressively protect you and your children.
Helping Victims Pursue Legal Intervention
New York law offers protection against domestic abuse. Civil court orders, called orders of protection, lend the weight of the law to keep abusers away from victims. These orders carry the teeth necessary for preventing further contact, as violations can result in criminal consequences. Enlisting the help of an attorney is essential for taking full advantage of these protections.
Defending Against Allegations Of Abuse
While domestic abuse is a serious problem, so, too, are false or inflated allegations of abuse. Ungrounded accusations can be a means of manipulating the system. Unscrupulous parties sometimes use them to gain the upper hand in pending family law proceedings. Once made, these allegations can derail your reputation and pose harsh consequences. You could be forced to have zero contact with your partner or children. Your right to bear arms may also be impacted. It’s important to act quickly in securing a strong defense.
I have handled orders of protection involving all types of situations. My experience representing both sides gives me a well-rounded perspective on how to effectively advocate for clients. You can count on me to fight for you each step of the way.
