Spousal Abuse and Domestic Violence Increasing
According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, there was a 21 percent increase in calls for domestic violence assistance in a recent one-year period. When the economy struggles, so do married couples and domestic partners. Most domestic violence charges are related to pulling hair, pushing or slapping, rather than assault and battery that make the headlines.
At The Mason Law Firm, LLC, we have experience with both the civil litigation and criminal charges that may be involved with a domestic violence incident. We represent either men or women who are either the complainant or the defendant.
We are a family-owned law firm that takes a holistic view of legal problems. This means that our attorneys seek to help couples reconcile when possible. Domestic violence is a charge that affects both spouses and any children living in the home. It is an important issue that should be handled delicately.
