Phoenix Domestic Violence Law Firm

Gillespie, Shields & Associates: Handling Domestic Violence Cases in Phoenix

Domestic violence occurs when one person within a family-like setting physically or mentally abuses another person.  Domestic abuse may occur between spouses, parents and children or cohabitating partners.  The victims vary in age and may be female or male.  Usually, abuse is committed to gain control of the victim.  Due to the fact that domestic violence is cyclical, the only way it will end is if victims seek help from family, friends or legal professionals.

At Gillespie, Shields & Associates, we know that domestic violence is an alarming problem in the United States.  Our Phoenix domestic violence lawyers represent both victims of domestic violence and those who have been accused of abuse.  For years, we have been handling sensitive domestic violence cases in the state of Arizona.  When clients come to our law firm, they always receive the advice, resources and encouragement they need to get through their family law and criminal cases.

Family Law & Domestic Violence

Domestic violence occurs in family settings, which is why it is a huge area of practice in family law.  Once domestic violence has occurred, victims will need a skilled legal advocate on their side for numerous reasons.  First, they may wish to obtain an order of protection, which will prevent the accused from contacting them.  Second, they may be involved in a child custody battle with the accused and worry about the safety of their children.  At Gillespie, Shields & Associates, we can help people obtain orders of protection, which will ensure that they remain safe during legal proceedings.  We know that anyone can become a victim of abuse, which is why our firm represents both female and male victims. 

Criminal Defense & Domestic Violence

Once people have been accused of domestic violence, they will most likely face immediate criminal prosecution, which is why they will need the services of an aggressive criminal defense attorney, like the attorneys at Gillespie, Shields & Associates.  Our Phoenix domestic violence lawyers handle cases that involve violating orders of protection and false accusations of domestic violence.  We are unyielding defense attorneys who will do everything we can to prove our clients are innocent and prevent them from facing penalties for violating domestic violence.
