Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is a term used to describe the inflicting of physical injury or verbal threats of violence against a spouse, mother, father, sibling or other person with whom the perpetrator has a relationship. It is common for divorce to be a factor either before or after domestic violence occurs.
Domestic violence is an issue where two legal practice areas often intersect. Family law and criminal law may come together in a restraining order situation. The attorneys at Brandner & Ponzini represent people accused of family violence, and advise alleged victims when restraining orders become a factor in divorce or child custody proceedings.

Restraining Orders
When someone is arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, he or she is often released with certain conditions. The court may issue a restraining order that prohibits the accused from harassing or even contacting the complainant. Contact Brandner & Ponzini to schedule a consultation regarding any situation involving restraining orders, including ex parte restraining orders issued at the request of the alleged victim who feels that there is a threat of physical injury. Inquire as to how to file a restraining order when a spouse or ex-spouse presents a real or perceived threat of domestic violence or abuse.
Err on the Side of Caution
Domestic violence is a serious matter. Sometimes restraining orders or domestic violence charges are filed based on a misunderstanding or exaggeration of conflict between otherwise reasonable people. On the other hand, sometimes grave harm is a result of a domestic conflict. Protect your family from the threat of violence if you believe you are at risk. To schedule a consultation regarding divorce, family law or any criminal matter in Stamford, Connecticut, contact Brandner & Ponzini.
