Domestic violence cases can involve others besides married couples. While women are more frequently the victims of domestic abuse, those affected by domestic violence can include:
- Boyfriend
- Child
- Ex-spouse
- Family member
- Girlfriend
- Live-in companion
- Parent
- Relatives by marriage
- Roommate
- Spouse
A domestic violence charge is a serious matter for clients who benefit from the kind of experienced representation we provide. From the start of the case, we investigate the incident to determine who was involved and other relevant facts. While it is never permissible to hit or abuse a family member, even a seemingly minor disagreement can have major repercussions that last well beyond the original incident. A conviction can harm clients with serious consequences, including:
- Automatic issuance of a protective order
- Criminal record
- Employment difficulties
- Government intrusion
- Jail time
- Loss of right to own a gun
- Loss of voting privileges
Beyond these factors, we understand that domestic violence charges carry a social stigma that can seem worse than any punishment.

We are skilled in these matters and will represent your case by doing everything possible to defeat the charges that you face. In fact, to ensure strong consistent legal advocacy, attorney Damian A. Billak will handle your case personally.
