Is your partner relentlessly calling and messaging you? Has a family member viciously destroyed any of your property? Do you live in constant fear of what your partner might do to you? Has someone close to you made threats, or even worse, actually attacked you?
If so, you are not alone.
Millions of people are affected by domestic violence each year. Fortunately, in California, domestic violence allegations are taken seriously and there are a variety of different ways to legally protect yourself. While you may be feeling trapped and helpless when dealing with an abusive partner, we will work tirelessly to defend your rights and safety.
In California, Domestic Violence can be used to describe a number of different abusive actions including domestic battery, making threats, sexual assault, coercive control, and harassment. Digital or internet harassment is also considered domestic violence including digital stalking or any form of internet exposure that may be deemed harmful to yourself. Domestic violence can be perpetrated by your close family members, spouse, or partner you are romantically involved with.
If any of this behavior sounds familiar to you, it is important to take immediate action to protect yourself and your family. At Desai Camino, we will use our extensive legal tools in order to help you fight your case. We will review the details of your case and develop a strategy to fight for the Court to issue an order to protect you from these behaviors.
Additionally, any children or other 3rd parties that are exposed to these abusive and dangerous behaviors should be protected to. Let us fight to protect you.
Our firm has a record of successfully protecting individuals from domestic violence. We will begin by immediately filing a Domestic Violence Temporary Restraining order or DVTRO. This will grant you instant relief from any potential imminent threat of abuse. This type of restraining order can be requested with little or no notice given to your abuser which will work in your favor to avoid retaliation.
Our team will then establish a strong case to turn the temporary restraining order into a permanent one, or a DVRO. We have years of experience compiling exhibits and witness lists, negotiating with opposing counsel, and taking any other means necessary to protect your rights. We will also meticulously search through all possible evidence to support your case including photos, witness testimony, torn clothing, police reports, threatening communication, and phone logs. Once the DVRO is granted, it becomes effective immediately, giving you full protection from your abuser.
